We had one of our favorite summer dishes for Christmas dinner, tomato herb cheese bread. Beefsteak tomatoes are in season - truly a taste of heaven.
Karen and I went on a glorious evening walk but unfortunately forgot the camera! So many beautiful things, unrecorded. When Karen says, "Mom, it will only take about an hour." I should know better, 2 hours later... though we did have a minor distraction at the design center in Recoleta. See a Trail Map (red trail). We started near the Recoleta cemetery and then passed El Museo de Bellas Artes (like the mfa). From there explored Palermo Chico, where a lot of movie stars live and where many embassies are located. We admired gorgeous mansions with never ending, intriguing gardens and gateways. After passing the Malba (modern art museum), we continued on to El Parque de Palermo, which was packed with families with strollers and dogs, kids playing soccer, rollberbladers, rowers or rather paddle boaters, and runners. Oh and the rose garden - just gorgeous! Then we went up to Plaza Italia (half way point) and walked back along Libertador, where we passed the zoo and the botanical garden.
We finished off the day will a stroll (couldn't really walk anymore) to the ice cream store. Ice
cream is a big deal here. At 10 pm the stores are packed with people. Perfect ending!
