I would recommend the veal with a bottle of merlot 2006.

So I got a job working at a luxury restaurant and I absolutely love it. We get a gourmet meal before work, with fresh juice and dessert. The people I work with are a delight: young, hip and funny. And to finish the day off, we get gourmet snacks and money for our day`s work. I couldnt think of a better ending, could you? Here I am dressed for work.

My wallet`s enemy.

This dress was almost 600 U.S. dollars.....Therefore my enjoyment of it started and ended with the dressing room. But boy oh boy would it be fun to float about in this beauty. A person should better float if the dress costs that much. I must say, the design and colors were very unique and it is one of my favorite pieces that I`ve stumbled across in Buenos Aires.

This is what an Architecture school of design should look like!

So Kristen and I were walking around Recoleta and we stumbled upon this University of Infrastructure and Design. This building was massive and very poorly lit. But somehow the latter just added to its appeal. We enjoyed getting lost on never-ending staircases.

Elina and Elena and Sara

So I met these lovely ladies named Elena and Sara at my hostel and they were a hoot and half! This pair was comedy-team gold. They hailed from Italy (originally) but live in Texas and New York. Their one-liners and loving bickering were my source of endless amusement. They left for home a few days ago and the room has never been quieter..... And the fourth girl is Kristen, another very fun roommate.

Terrace Del Este

So a few nights ago I went to this very neat place called Terrace Del Este for a party. This place was pretty cool, it had about 10 different rooms/sections as well as a beautiful terrace. The best part? Watching the sunrise with a bunch of rowdy Portenos. The photos are of new Argentinean friends and my roommate Kristen.

Characters make life fun.

So this man is definitely the epitome of cool. With his vest, long straight gray hair, neat shoes, mate gourd. And to finish it off, that innate confidence, the best thing you can accessorize yourself with. While I never aspire to be a cool older guy in Buenos Aires, I do hope I have a similar feminine vibe in my 60`s.

Inspiration.

I was in San Telmo, watching some very good street performers and than I saw her. This little girl who I presume has a serious illness and she was just radiant. She was with her poppa just dancing in his arms. Dancing freely and energetically to the beautiful sounds around her. It was mind-boggling her aura, her presence. Once my eyes found her, I had a hard time tearing them away. Here I was surrounded by about 100 people, a live band and all I could focus on was this precious little girl. She was just delighting in a simple pleasure; feeling the music around her. And than I looked away for one moment and they were gone. I searched the crowds to no avail. Just an angel that I happened to see.......
