Happy May! And happy indeed because midterms have passed. The last week has consisted of unwinding and enjoying fall in the city under the color changing leaves. We watched La extorsión in theaters, an Argentine movie starring well known native actor Guillermo Francella, with a handful of pochoclo, our equivalent of kettle corn. I browsed the handmade goods at the Recoleta Fair and purchased some gifts to bring back home.
On May 1 we experienced Labor Day along with most countries, which also happened to be a friend’s birthday, so we joined locals in the bustling park for a picnic. Later in the week we rented EcoBicis, city bikes, and rode around the Ecological Reserve. Afterwards we wandered out of Puerto Madero, modern skyscrapers along the water, and stumbled into San Telmo, brick buildings and cobblestone streets. The more time I spend here the smaller the city feels.
