Buenos Aires T+9 - Friday
Nothing planned today for me.
Al and Jim planned to go visit some site that I wasn’t interested in. Rafe is in school.
I planned to sleep in – that would be nice if I’d had a full night of sleep the entire time here. Road noise has kept me up and prevented a good night sleep the entire time. I wore ear plugs again last night. They just muffle the noise, but the compressed air feeds into all bus/truck tires still cut through. Horns at all hours of the night, morning, day, and people yelling get through too. I’ll try to sleep in the back bedroom this afternoon.
The smoke is bad – more cancellations and closings from what we can make out of the local coverage. Everything is in Spanish with only the occasional movie subtitled in Spanish and spoken in English. A fully dubbed version of Ghostbusters is playing now.
I did a little more research and found that flights to Miami, Atlanta and Iguazu Falls (IGR) all took off the last few days from either AEP or EZE airports.
Friday night Jim and I had dinner with his family in Buenos Aires at the apartment of the grand parents. Appetizers, wine, champagne, conversation, more appetizers, dinner, politics (local and world), another course, and another … when I was stuffed, 1 more course came followed by ice cream. Everything except the ice cream was from scratch. Jim knows the names of everything – Armenian food. Only 1 item wasn’t fantastic. I hope enough photos were taken.
