Return to Eden (Argentina) – Tuesday
Tuesday was a beautiful day with blue skies and no wind. Another perfect day in BA. Monday had been sunny but the wind certainly put a nip in the air. They said the same thing at Pearl Harbor back in ´41.
My first stop was a short stay at the internet café to check the news, post and update and review the e-mails. It is a super nice internet café with coffee, beer, other cold, tasty adult beverages and light food. Also, the connection seems faster than others I have used in BA and Rio.
On the walk back to the apartment I remembered I needed to replenish the larder. At the local mini market I also bought two bags of dry cat food. On Sunday I watched a woman feed nearly thirty cats inside the Recoleta cemetery . Now, you may not like cats but rest assured they do a tremendous service in keeping the rat population in check.
Back at the apartment I listened to the news while waiting for my room service lady of the afternoon to arrive. I was pleasantly surprised when she actually rang the doorbell a few minutes early. Anna, from Platynum, looks exactly like the pictures on the web page. She is Russian, actually from St. Petersburg and Kiev. I must say I was awe struck by the unusual blue of her eyes. Quite striking to this old monger. Our session was wonderful. Anna suggested starting with a massage and within minutes I was wishing I had asked for another hour just for massage. She is as good as a trained and certified masseuse. Although Anna is Eastern European the session was neither rushed nor mechanical. Anna deserves all the accolades and recommendations I read about her before coming to BA.
Tuesday evening was a small gathering of four mongers for dinner at one of the famous steakhouses in Recoleta. Once our bellies were full of fabulous Argentina meat and good wine it was off to Cattos. It was almost midnight and the place was full. Lots of lovely ladies and an almost equal number of men. Jim latched onto a true spinner immediately. I am sure he had a fun filled time with this little lass. I would be surprised and hard pressed to believe she weighed 90 pounds.
I departed the group after one drink and headed home alone. Anna had taken very good care of me earlier.}
LIFE IS GOOD.
