Buenos Aires II, Day 3

This morning I woke up to my alarm at 8am and hopped in the shower. We had a car coming to pick us up to bring us to the outskirts of Buenos Aires to the new building, and I wanted to get some food in my belly! After finding Melrose Place dubbed in Spanish on the TV (yes!!!) I got ready and headed down to the breakfast in the club room and met some of my colleagues.
I had a few rolls with some dulce de leche, as well as a muffin filled with dulce de leche (do you see a theme??). It was a nice, simple breakfast. After that, we headed down to the lobby to get in our car.

The car can only be described as a party van! 4 rows of seats, it was really like a mini-bus. We rode to the suburbs in style! One of my colleagues is a little dweeby and kept running his mouth trying to prove how traveled he is. He's been doing that since last night. Having nailed exactly what he's doing, it has gone from annoying to absolutely amusing. I keep prodding him to go on. What he doesn't realize is that I read Frommer's two. He's not well traveled. He just read Frommer's. Dork. (I know that this whole situation makes me the bigger dweeb, but please keep that to yourself)

We got to the new building and the others went on the 25 cent tour. I logged on and started to get some work done. After our meeting, I kept working. I actually got a lot accomplished during the morning, so I am pleased with that.

For lunch, we went to the Lion Café that we went to last time. It really is the only restaurant around here…for now. I had something similar to what I had last time…what we would call Chicken-fried steak, but I didn't have it with the cheese on top this time. I watched others (and followed suit) squeeze the juice of a lime onto the steak. That was a very good idea! It added an interesting little zing to it. Perhaps I'll try that again sometime. Some papas fritas really rounded out the meal. Dessert was another espresso. I hope I don't get addicted. So tasty.

The afternoon found me continuing to run around and get things done. As was the case earlier, I got much accomplished. We are now winding down (it's after 8pm here) and will be going back to Buenos Aires shortly. Not sure what dinner will bring, but that's the story for another entry.

Hasta luego!
