Not only Tara, also Noam gets bored at cafés...

The books we borrow at Alliance Française only last that long (they come to the age when they enjoy re-reading books less and less, and one can only borrow 4 at a time over there). But, by the way, the Alliance médiathèque is excellent here. When we go, the kids spend hours reading

Jess!!!!

Wonderful to have Jessica here, with her knowledge and advice and above great company (at least when she manages to leave the sides of her beloved Manuel to spare us some time hahhhahhhaaa). So nice for the kids too, she's so great with them. We've struck a deal that she'll do some babysitting for us so R and I can go out to "flâner un peu" and go out in the evening to listen to tango and enjoy the awesome argentinian red wine (it really is good)

Bon, au moins un tout petit bout de nature?!

We really feel the effect of getting the kids used to so much free nature. Urban play parks only go that far...

Eh ben oui, café encore

Caféééééés, encore....

So: R and I are loving it, this first real urban adventure of our trip: the streets, the scenes, the PEOPLE (still dumbstruck by how attractive they are...), the book shops, the boutiques, and, yes of course, the CAFES. To the great despair of the kiddies, who get really bored (of course) with this kind of activities. The first really clearly salient contrast between grown-up pleasures and kids' pleasures has been here

The daily juggler

This guy juggles in front of the cars stopped at a red light next to the café where we drink our *cortado* (short coffee with milk foam) in the morning

Ambiente

Hey guys, it's kind of hard to find what to upload right now; we're totally enjoying our days here but they're so urban that the uniqueness of each situation becomes hard to trace - and, as most of the time, R takes most of the pics (luckily for all of us! ;-D) I'll just upload some of them in quasi random fashion, some that kind of reflect our feeling of the atmosphere of this place, here a typical Buenos Aires garbage bin (I find them exceptionally cool - what a great idea to make them shoulder-high)
