Argentina Day 2

Bella entered my life today. (She’s the one in the green and white.) It’ll be good to have something close by to love.

La Plata is a city “sin mucho movimiento” on any day, but on Sundays in particular, this city founded solidly on the Catholic faith, truly rests.

It was a day for careful exploration of the cities and a chance to enjoy the cafe’s as well as the small kiosks that opened for business. First was Cafe Paris, a small cafe that, true to its name, is modeled after those in France. Displays of colorful pastries line the cafe and coffee or tea is served in delicate tazas. Service is slow, yet personal, as the waiters take many moments to speak with the turistas and explain with glee their nation’s pastries and delicacies.

Argentinians appear to enjoy their fair share of sweets, though the thin frames of the Argentinians walking the streets will never betray this.

Among today’s purchases was a cake of crema fresca y fruta to be brought as a gift to those at the bank tomorrow. Tomorrow marks our first day of work and hopefully our first chance to meet with the clients.

Wish us luck!
