Seems today was one of those 'get back in bed, then get out and start again' days...
We overslept this morning, woken only by an incoming Skype call from home, and too late for the English church bus. Things went from bad to worse when we felt the very chilly Sunday morning air and then the pc crashed!
Nevertheless, we got fed, washed and dressed and head out in search of some more warm clothes for Jorja. We found a tracksuit at a bargain price and Learner Mommy had to guess the correct measurements since it was a homemade garment (i.e. no labels) and I didn't want to disturb Jorja in her pram. Seems we didn't do too badly, and there's some space to grow. No doubt, it'll be filled out by the time we head back to SA.
Sunday's are generally known as Asado days, so most people stay at home and enjoy a day-long braai. Some of the restaurants only pack out a few tables, for the tourists and those who 'aren't in the know.' Sunday is also street market day, so there is still some outdoor activity in the San Telmo, Puerto Madero and Florida suburbs. We didn't venture through the markets this week, instead we enjoyed our packed lunch at the park, following the sun rays to warm up our chilled cheeks. Jorja made us laugh when she brought a smile to a patrolling policeman at the canal - such a socialite, this one!
While family back home ease into the extension of their weekend, we're getting ready for another work week. Enjoy the festivities!
Try this for a carnival combo: A Toffee Apple coated with Popcorn! We saw this at one of the stands in Puerto Madero today. Where would you bite into it? Crazy!
Hopefully by the time P-J reads this, he'll feel confident that he can trade his egg shells for solid ground, as I've quietly realised that a pc crashing - resulting in all of my journalling and photos being lost...is not the end of the world. Here's to enjoying the moment!
