We made coffee and breakfast in our apartment today; it was a very nice change. After breakfast we made tracks… we wanted to pay the remaining balance from the apartment fiasco as soon as possible and bring closure to the whole saga. We strolled out into the familiar warm, humid, drizzle, we’ve grown accustomed to; the weather is supposed to improve by this weekend. Luckily we found a “Link” ATM a few blocks from our apartment and withdrew the required cash to settle our debt. I hate owing people money!
We walked about 2 KM to the property management office, taking the opportunity to check out our new little neighborhood. I located the closest carneceria (meat), paneria (bread) and pescaderia (fish) markets and filed it away in the “database” so I could come back later for one of our home cooked meals.
We spent a good portion of our day ducking in and out of shops and cafes attempting to stay dry. It was a
perfect opportunity to scope out the cute little boutiques and hot restaurants in the hip areas of Palermo SOHO and Palermo Hollywood. We picked two places for Marc’s big birthday dinner in one week—now I need to make reservations for one of them! We felt very comfortable in our new neighborhood, but don’t get me wrong… we’ll still be on the lookout for the lotion throwing scammers.The weather is supposed to clear up a little tomorrow and we’re off to the races; literally, we’re headed to the local horse races. We’ll let you know how it goes.
