Speaking of tropical storms

It has been rainy the past few days here- a welcome change to the hot days earlier in the week. But when it rains, it pours, that's for sure. This video doesn't really capture just how hard it was coming down yesterday. Mark and I went to pick up our laundry half a block away, and despite the umbrella over our heads, we were soaked almost instantly. I hope tonight's Boca Juniors game isn't rainy...

There was another blackout last night, right near us. We went to Mito's to see some live music, but the entire block was dark, and people were hanging out outside waiting for the power to come back. It never did, but we found a nice glittering bar next door in which to enjoy a Quilmes (tea lights are key).

Spring in Buenos Aires...

...can be confusing. Kind of reminds me of Colorado- ever changing. I've found myself bringing my jacket along when we go out, because it can get chilly in the shade, and there is usually a gentle cool breeze meandering through the streets of the city. But sometimes it can be fairly hot too. Over all, I love the weather here so far. Not too hot, not too humid. In fact, I haven't even noticed the humidity. That said, it's only spring. First day of summer is December 21st.
