Well we got here Saturday with no problem and were on a barstool yesterday by 3. It rained lightly but not enough to keep us from the palapa bar. We were fairly wiped out from the traveling so we had an early dinner at Media Luna which has become unremarkable after remodeling and moving to the second floor.
Yesterday we ate breakfast at Hot which was very good. Later we had a mexicano platter at the bar at the hotel and we thought we were too burnt (out and sun) to go out for dinner but later we recovered and had a great meal at El Bistro at La Torguga on 10th Ave. This is something to keep in mind--anything you can get on Fifth Ave is probably better and cheaper on 10th. We had mussels for an appetizer and then had big salads--Annie with the pear gorgonzola and me with a smoked salmon pecan. We had a bottle of Argentinian Malbec which pretty much cost as much as the food.
Today we had breakfast on 5th at Tropical where Annie had a vampira smoothie (beet juice and stuff) and a bagel and I had yogurt with granola and some banana bread with cream cheese. We started out both days with coffee from Java Joe´s which is just a block from our hotel.
The first night, the thumping music from hell started up about 1030 at a bar two hotels away from ours and continued on to 4 a.m. Yesterday we bought earplugs but last night, no music. Hopefully this is just a weekend thing. We could stay cheaper away from the beach but it´s so nice when you´re down there to run up to the room for stuff. What princesses.
Have had one marg today and now it´s 230 and we are taking a beach break, going to the ATM, where the exchange rate is very good. Took out 1500 pesos and it cost 100 American. Muy bien.
More later. Weather is fabulous. I see it is nearly summery in BG.
