June 1

Well, the loss of sleep finally caught up with me:  a sore throat. Yuck!  So, stayed home till mid afternoon when it was warm and sunny and we ventured out to find batteries for my camera and a slow stroll in the sun.  Went up to Belgrano where there are lots of electronics stores.  No lithium batteries anywhere so I'll just have to use regular ones and have large supply.  The day was beautiful. We walked around a bit and went in the beautiful 19th century Church of the Immaculate Conception, nicknamed La Rondanda.  Came home to have some tea, make some chicken soup, and rest again.  I just can't let myself stay sick!
Yesterday, we took the subway to San Telmo and walked around Dorrego Square where we had coffee then visited Chuck's favor shop--a record store that sells original tango records.  He found a few Gardel ones he hadn't had.  Walk was a bit tiring but so wonderful to be back in San Telmo.
Came back and had some dinner then headed to Belgrano for La Glorieta, the outdoor milonga in the park.  It was a beautiful evening--soft and warm with a bright almost-full moon. The music was fabulous--very traditional from the 30s and 40s and even some 20s.  We danced some and watched quite a bit.  By then I was beginning to fade!

Subte tiles!
