After nearly 4 months of separation, my wonderful girlfriend Julia has arrived in BsAs. Following her 12 hour red eye flight, we kick started the day with a bike tour of the city. Luckily for Julia the weather forecast is 65 and sunny every day she is scheduled to be here. Sure beats the 40 and rainy it has been the last few weeks – I guess she brought the good weather with her. The bike tour (I am a repeat customer) was fun, but a little dangerous this go round. Between weaving through bumper to bumper traffic, avoiding the 10 year old hecklers and a crazy hombre screaming profanities at me after nearly hitting his car with my bike, Julia’s introduction to the city and reintroduction to the bicycle was … to say the least, interesting.
We then transitioned from the shoddy bike ride to the ever-luxurious Four Seasons! It has been a wonderful perk of ours, staying at Four Seasons’ properties around the Americas, Toronto, NYC, Washington DC, Whistler, and Vancouver –the Buenos Aires property fits the bill nicely. We cleaned up and met Steve and some of our Argentine friends for dinner and drinks. What a day.

Other notables from Julia’s first 24 hours in BsAs:
1) Everyone thinks she is Argentine. She has been approached several times by locales asking for directions, time, and other miscellaneous inquiries (why are you hanging out with this gringo?)
2) Always loco for pollo, Julia and I shared a massive lamb tenderloin for our first meal. She ate, and enjoyed, the well-done outside portion… baby-steps. Thank you, Dr. Leo Marvin.
3) 1 day down, 4 to go in Buenos Aires. Next, Iguazu Falls and then Cusco/Machu Picchu. Stay tuned.
