Buenos Aires II, Day 4

Today I woke up and wanted to go back to sleep. That's usually the case though, so I got up and burned my retinas when I opened the blinds. Stupid me. Melrose was on the TV again, and I met my colleagues for breakfast again at 8:30. You might as well scroll to yesterday's breakfast, because it was basically the same thing.

The van took us back to the new building where I hit the ground running. Made a ton of progress again. So glad. Lunch was later - and I was starving. We went back to the Lion Café that we went to yesterday as there are not many restaurants in this suburb. I had a regular steak this time and it was okay - not the best that I've had, but still better than most. Papas Fritas, of course! Y una Coca Light!! And then I capped off lunch with an espresso. I may have to look into purchasing one of these machines and just dealing with the ridicule when it comes. It's so good!

Lunch conversation was fun as our Argentine hosts were asking a little of America - weather and such, as well as our elections. We explained our system a little - then we all had a nice belly laugh.

After that we came back to the building and I've been working ever since. It's about 8:30 now (5:30 ET) and I'm tired and hungry. Not sure what dinner will bring, but I bet it will be a new place!

One day left.

Maybe when you return you can hit a Starbucks in your neighborhood to get your fix of espresso.
