We didn’t mean to sleep in until 1 pm. But we did. While this goes some way towards resetting our body clock, it also means that we get some late-night energy, which is particularly useful in a city whose dance scenes barely begin until 11 pm.
In brief, today we had lunch/dinner near us in trendy Palermo before metro adventures to the CBD and San Telmo. The day featured a lot of rain, more empanadas, and a delicious steak baguette. It finished with us briefly joining a salsa/bachata social and then watching a tango social.
Things that met/exceeded my expectations of BA:
- Steak is delicious
- Red wine is delicious
Things I didn’t expect from BA:
- The tango socials are so formulaic and structured – there’s jazz-club style seating and a high ratio of watchers to dancers
- Greenery everywhere – creeping vines, leafy trees lining the streets, flowering trees held up by wires
- The street art is pervasive and amazing
- The people are so kind! Cheers to the multiple police people who helped us with finding a local SIM card
- The pavements are so slippery
