slowing down

Mary left yesterday. Our last night was spent learning to tango, eating a bunch of fried argentine food and running through a thunderstorm to not miss our tango show. Our last day was spent visiting the cemetary in Recolleta which hold Evitas tomb, eating lunch and seeing the mothers at the plaza de mayo. Then with a glass of Del fin del mundo champagne, mary was off, back home to the states and I was alone here. It´s easter weekend, all of the confitterias have gigantic chocolate Easter eggs. The most expensive I´ve seen is $200 pesos. They had yesterday, today, and monday as a holiday (which has postponed my trip to Colonia until tuesday because it was full of portenos on holiday). But today is supposedly the Big holiday when most of the things will be closed so I´m ceasing the opportunity to do a whole lot of nothing. I´ll probably upload some more pictures here, perhaps find my way to a picnic in a park. Start that book I brought, it´s a much needed day of R&R. Traveling with Mary and Trish was so much fun. I loved it, but we´ve been on the go... packing it in, and I´m glad to slow down a bit.
