Business As Usual in Buenos Aires

E-mail Print
This is the Congressional Palace.Well, it's Tuesday, and it's back to business as usual in the streets of Buenos Aires. Yesterday, the city celebrated its Dia de la Virgen, a national holiday that closed many businesses, including the stock exchange. After the break, the exchange is opening higher today. The one immediate way you can tell BA is back in business is by listening to the traffic. My hotel is on a busy street, Sarmiento that runs east to west, parallel to major corridors, like Av. Cordoba and Av. Corrientes. As people make their way down to Puerto Madero, or out to the Palacio del Congresso (where I spent some time this morning), many of them pass right under my "balcony." (It's actually more of the size of a step, but it's pretty.) The sidewalks are packed with people on their way to somewhere... It reminds me a bit of New York. I even saw one gentleman get nudged by a car trying to pull into an alley. There was the inevitable fist slamming on the hood, and curses in Spanish, and the flow of people around the problem never stopping. As far as I can tell, people will only stop to watch a fight at a futbol match... I popped into a restaurant/cafe for some empanadas de jamon y queso (ham and cheese) on the way back to the hotel. They were scrumptious. It's fast food, but I stood with the locals at the high tables, and ate with a knife and fork. It's a bit overcast today, and muggy. I was sure we were going to get a storm last night. We did see some lightening and a quick shower, but the humidity is sticking around, it would seem. That means I'll be sweating through my T-shirt as I make my way to the Palermo neighborhood. Enjoy your Tuesday, and I'll chat with you again this evening.
