Saturday

Have had a lovely Saturday.  The weather was okay.  It looked like it would storm but never did.  Warm and humid--my had is pretty good indication of what the weather was like!
Took the subway to the city center to return to Zivals, the record store that has such a wonderful collection of Tango CDs.  Then to Abasto, Carlos Gardel's neighborhood, where I found a new tango skirt and tango pants.  Pretty sexy stuff.  Stopped to have lunch at a local cafe--bife de chorizo (steak!!)  We were both incredibly an finished the entire slab of beef (sorry, Eleanor!).  It was fabulous, and I'm sure it's the reason I'm feeling so well tonight.  Met up with Graciela Klein, the woman we lived with for 2 months in 2010.  It was great to have time to catch up.  After having tea in her apartment and chatting, we went on to an African restaurant for supper.  Couldn't believe we could be hungry again after the lunch we ate, but the food was great.  Fish with Plantains and peppers and a really interesting meat pie with raisins and almonds.  Mainly, great conversation with a good friend!  Home now relaxing and planning to sleep a normal night's sleep.  I think I'm over the cold!
