Hola!
Well we have officially been here three weeks which is so hard to believe! How time flies. We had yet another wonderful weekend full of food and fun that we would like to update you all on! On Saturday we actually accompanied our friends Ivan and JD for a lovely dinner at a usually frequented club here, Asia de Cuba. Between the live belly dancer, strawberry daiquiris, champagne, and raviolis, the dinner was very entertaining on top of being delicious. After a couple of dances on the dance floor Jessica and I headed back to our part of town and met a couple of friends at a place called 'TIKI' for a more bar-like experience. The next day we woke up with a craving for a big american breakfast so thought we'd try out a place called Oui Oui that is located only a few blocks away. I will have to say that Oui Oui may have the best breakfast to offer here in BA. It was pure bliss. For 8 dollars you are given a plate full of tasty eggs, a bagel, some (undercooked- unless otherwise mentioned) bacon, and a delicious pot of homemade lemonade that is just indescribable. (Our experience here was so good that we managed to make it back the next day for the exact same meal... plus a homemade banana muffin that was incredible). Sunday night Jessica and I decided to lay low as both of us had to be on our A-game for work the next day, and entertained ourselves with some good ol' movie watching on our laptop.
Today also officially marks my third day of work! I have yet to write about my new job so I'll give everyone a brief synopsis. I am now working for a company here in Buenos Aires called RentInBA, and basically they manage a lot of properties here in the area and rent them out both long and short term to mostly foreign travelers. It really is a great company and I adore the people I get to work with- they couldn't be nicer ( / more accepting of the fact that I don't know Spanish well at all!) Anyway the office is located very close and in the mornings I usually take a 12 peso cab ride there and enjoy a 40 minute walk home in the afternoon. My boss is an Israel native who spent some time growing up here as both of his parents are Argentinean and is a pleasure to work with.
Tomorrow Jessica and I leave for IGUAZU! Woop Woop! We are so excited yet a bit apprehensive about our 14 hour bus ride there (should be interesting!). Rumor has it that the buses here really are rather comfortable so we can only hope for the best... Here is the link to where we will be staying so check it out. We will be sure to take plenty of photos to entertain you with upon our return.
I am also happy to announce that our first traveler has officially booked her flight: GO GRETA!! Greta is planning on coming in the end of October so we are already planning the fun week she is going to be spending with us.
Today after work Jessica and I went to Puerto Madero to check out a rather highly spoken of hotel here called Faena. Here we enjoyed a delicious glass of wine with a rather large cheese & cold cuts plate. The hotel is absolutely incredible and is a must see (at least for a glass of wine) if you are ever here! The design is like nothing else and once we become workin' (money making) women we are going back to treat ourselves to some massages in their extensive spa... ahhhhh.... Tonight we may make the return to the bar around the corner, Fetish, which adds a bit of a different feel to the bars here in BA. Located here in Palermo Hollywood Fetish has a huge square bar inside (the biggest in the city I believe) that seats 50 people if not more! It's a really neat ambiance and the owner is actually a friend of my boss's (who is the person who first introduced us to the place!)
Wish us the best of luck while we're up in Iguazu- we are going to try and avoid the mosquitos as much as possible... we are a bit unprepared in the malaria meds area... and we look forward to filling you all in when we return.... BESOS!
