Settled In...

Hi Again!

Thanks to everyone who has posted and emailed us, that has helped to keep the homesickness away. Unfortunately, it did not keep the jet-lag away, and we spent most of the weekend sleeping and trying to get used to the 5 hour time change. We did go out a bit though. On Saturday we spent some time in the Recoleta neighborhood wandering around a craft fair. On Sunday we had lunch with Julio, Martin's uncle, and the later in the evening we had french fries and Quilmes (argentina's national beer) for dinner (yes!) on Avenida 9 de Julio, the widest street in the world. We also discovered that our apartment has a roof-top balcony on top of its 13 stories, so below are some pictures taken from there. (almost as good as Grant's rooftop view in Brooklyn)



And... Yesterday we went to the zoo!!!

Take it the last picture (rhino) is how you & Martin felt after the flight?!? So, how hot/humid is the hot/humid?...you're from S CA where the weather is always the same (oops..not lately!)
Take care...Love...Aunt Jan

Way to go finding the roof top balcony! Have you figured out how to get a jacuzzi up there yet?
