Welcome 2021 — we’re glad you’re finally here!

A group of us did our usual picnic down at the riverside area known as Puerto Madero. There weren’t as many people there as usual, but enough to make it feel like the fiesta we all desperately needed.

At the beginning we were just four people – Cecilia, Liana, Venetia and me. A friendly Italian stopped to chat, wish us Happy New Year and give us extravagant compliments. So while he was there, Cecilia asked him to take our photograph. He took quite a lot and most of them were out of focus! But this one survived the cut.

Later on, after midnight, Vivi turned up with some family members who were visiting her, which completed our party.

And finally, here is Venetia’s video of the fireworks that traditionally welcome in the New Year.

In Argentina instead of the full expression Feliz Año Nuevo, most people say Feliz Año. I don’t know if this is on purpose, but I always like that because it seems to offer good wishes for the whole year and not just when it’s new. So in that spirit, I wish you Feliz Año, and my best wishes for a wonderful 2021!
