9th January.
After a slow start, and a sketch in the courtyard, I went first to Museo de Arte Moderno which wasn’t far away and then wandered around San Telmo. Visited the old San Telmo markets, a big old building with lots of little stalls inside. I found a tiny little miniature camera that I wanted to buy but didn’t have enough pesos and the owner didn’t have enough change for my $US so put that on my list to go back for another day. I had a couple of slices of the Buenos Aires version of pizza in the afternoon, lots and lots of cheese, which the driver from last night had warned me about. He’s of Italian heritage and seemed a little condescending about their pizzas, lol. Footsore and hot but happy I bought some nibbles and wine from a shop near the hotel and relaxed by the pool and in one of the courtyards well into the evening. I have bigger plans for tomorrow, hopefully I’ll get an earlier start!
