Patti reported she had her morning coffee on her little balcony, and decided she loved Buenos Aires! I can relate to that — it doesn’t take long to fall in love with this city.
We spent some time at the local feria (craft fair) and then had champagne at La Biela, which was fun for Patti because she had heard so much about it. We were joined by Venetia and Lina, two of my best friends here. Venetia took this shot of Patti and me.
After hanging out at my place for a while, Venetia and I took Patti to El Sanjuanino, another favourite haunt, for some of the best empanadas in the city. It was a fun day, but I think Patti was glad to get home and she will have another good night’s sleep tonight!
Before Patti came I put in requests for some favourite food items from Canada that I can’t get here, and here’s a shot of the stash — thanks Patti!
Helen was writing a book on BA’s Bar Notables, so I finally got to sit in one. Shortly after this photo was taken, we decided it WAS too cold to sit outside, so in we went.
The Argentinian Chandon champagne was to die for, as was the company of Venetia, Lina and Helen. Everyone greets everyone with a big hug and kiss, even if you don’t know them.
I bought my first souvenir of BA at the fair and a gift for my grand-nephew who had just celebrated his first birthday before I left Canada.
I’m pretty sure you’ll sit in quite a few Bares Notables before your holiday ends, Patti! I’ve been talking to you about Buenos Aires for so long, it’s just great to have you here to show it to you in person!
Wonderful day welcoming Patti to Argentina! Thank you Patti for bring all my warm winter goodies…wearing some of them now!
