Hey! When Dad came, we moved into his apartment. I’ve gotta say, his is a lot nicer than Aba’s and Troy’s, but they’re both good. We mainly walked around Buenos Aires and when we were at the apartment Asher played on the Nintendo Switch that Dad brought for him while I worked on Troy’s Anniversary present. On Troy’s actual birthday, we all went out to dinner at a fancy steak restaurant called Don Julio. I think it’s rated the best steakhouse in Argentina. When we had tried to make reservations online, the website said that there were no reservations available until March. MARCH! Anyway, we went to the restaurant at eight to see if we could get in. We ended up waiting roughly forty minutes, but we got free champagne, sparkling water, flat water, bread, entres, and empanadas! Yum! It was totally worth it since it’s been ages since I’ve had good steak. Dad and Aba make the best steaks at home. Aba grills his with smoked hickory salt and Dad marinates his in vinegar. Now I’m hungry! When we finished eating we realized it had started to pour! Aba and Troy got safely in a cab and we got in an Uber, but when we were dropped off, there was a problem. There are three gates to get through in order to get into our small house. That means that we have to unlock and lock six locks. This would be fine except that all the doors, locks, and keys are really old, and they’re all in an outside corridor. That means we got drenched. The next morning when we were trying to leave the house, the door wouldn’t open! The rain had swollen the door frame and it wouldn’t budge! I ended up climbing over a large wall and ramming into the door from the other side. We were free! We basically just chilled by walking around Buenos Aires, but we still had tons of fun! One day, we joined Aba and Troy at the train station and spent the day in the town of Tigre. It was a bit touristy for my taste, but still fun! We went inside an art museum, walked, and ate lunch. On the boardwalk by the river, small boats kept riding close to us and soaking our feet! On Friday, we went back to Aba and Troy’s and ate Shabbat dinner with Dad.
The next day, Aba, Asher, Troy, and I went to a really colorful neighborhood called La Boca. Again, too touristy for me, but I loved all the color!
The day after, Sunday, we walked around Buenos Aires again again again and went to the Recoleta cemetery. Eva Peron, a very important figure for Argentinians, is buried there. However, her tomb is so small that we couldn’t find it.
There was an art fair there, but nothing special. The next few days, we walked around and went to another steakhouse with everyone, including Dad’s friend, Marc. He’s visiting from Paris and he seems really nice. I made him a bracelet made mostly of white string, but with a bright red string clasp. He’s been wearing it a lot.
We hung out and ate and whatnot, and this morning we went out to brunch. Dad and Marc just took an Uber to a ferry. They’re going to Montevideo. Asher’s a bit behind on homework so he’s catching up while I write this so, bye!
