Today was the best day ever. And now I'm going to tell you why. After waking up from a divine 12-hour slumber, I had some great greek yogurt and corn flakes that my host mother had kindly bought for me after I told her I was a yogurt fiend. Then I joined her and her daughter on a short walk to one of the middle schools where they both voted for Buenos Aires' next governor (Macri won, by the way). Afterwards I headed out to the Parque Rosedal for a run and I only got a little bit lost on the way there! (This was quite an accomplishment because last time I attempted this, I walked about forty-five minutes out of my way and then proceeded to run around the wrong park, el Parque Japonais, which was also beautiful, but tiny). Today's was a long, but gorgeous run. There were so many people (rollerbladers, families, dogs, runners) out and about, enjoying their Sunday.
I came back to an empty apartment, snuck some leftovers for lunch, since I'm a chica barata (cheap) who refused to pay for lunch somewhere else, and got ready for the afternoon. I joined two friends in Palermo, where we walked around before parking ourselves in a café for a few hours. I ordered some coffee and a piece of cake, we all talked, I read some of my book and then we all moved on to a bottle of Malbec. We very much enjoyed ourselves. We left the café, and I came home to some homemade pizza. Twenty minutes later I left to meet another friend for some extraordinarily delicious ice cream. A perfect day full of food, friends, fun, and food.
