New Years’ Day in BA starts slowly and then slowly warms, like a cake in the oven. At first, I thought that we were at serious danger of going hungry because everything was closed. But slowly doors opened and food smells started wafting.
Today was our bike-around-the-place day! We took off towards the beautiful green gardens in the Retiro area – most of which had their gates closed but it was a pleasant view from around the edges. A few hours in, Dan got a flat tire. I won’t bore you with the story, but I’d think recommend reconsidering renting bikes on a day of the year where all your repair options within a reasonable radius are closed.
We explored the Puerto Madero area further, including the long esplanade by the edge of the Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur where we indulged in lunch and joined the Colombians for a few salsa dances.
The trees in this city are spectacular.
We’re off to Uruguay tomorrow!
