Recovering Sundays – April Edition…
It’s pretty obvious – the seasons are changing. Although it’s rather refreshing (and perhaps even tolerable) now that we’re not in the heat of summer, with temperatures soaring high and the humidity at ninety percent. Even the mosquitoes are disappearing and the nights cool off to reasonable temperatures. It’s one of the most beautiful times of year here in Buenos Aires!
So in thinking about what to do on a Sunday – it really depends on what you like to do. Right now we’re in the middle of the World Cup qualifying games and you may not see all of the best local players on their local teams respectively – but that never deters die hard fans.
Perhaps you got to bed earlier than 7am on Saturday and you know that your Sunday is going to be free, but what are you going to do? Well, gyms are usually (but not always, depending on your locale) closed on Sundays – take that as a cue to hang out with your friends and family on these days.
Why not try heading to San Telmo for a nice day of people watching. Start off your day with a nice greasy breakfast in Bar El Federal on the corner of Peru and Carlos Calvo. Everyone knows that there’s the Sunday market in San Telmo and every once in a while, it’s great just to go there, walk around and take in the sounds of people, animals, music – whatever – and you can overload your senses with all that the market has to offer.
If you’re not up for a bunch of human interaction, why not spend a lazy day in Buenos Aires’ Botanical Garden. Take a blanket and a good book with you – sit back and spend your time in peace and quiet. If you’re laying on the grass, you may get a little furry visitor that wants to curl up with you and keep you company – but if you’re allergic to cats, take some anti-histamines before you go.
