- I am staying in an area without a lot of tourists. I ate alone the first two days/nights because I don't know anyone. However, I haven't allowed myself to step into an English speaking bar, restaurant or shop yet. I am struggling to communicate with everyone. I tried to order Mate at a restaurant the other night and I've learned, you just don't do that. It's like going to a restaurant in the US and asking for a cigarette as an appetizer. No pain no gain I guess. 

- I consider Buenos Aires to be a Silver Fox. Rugged and aged with a lot of great stories to tell but still energetic and good looking.

Fabian Perez is an amazing Artist from Buenos Aires. I happened to walk into a gallery last week in La Jolla that featured his art. His work is exactly what I imagine the women and nightlife to look and feel like in Buenos Aires. Everything seems very sensual and sophisticated. I guess we'll see how true that is. The painting i'm most amazed with is a self-portrait he did as he saw himself 30 years into the future (second picture).
