touring around is a lot of fun, but i have to admit, being in an apartment and unpacked is awesome. for the first time in 20 days i have clothes in drawers and hanging in the closet.

i have a cute studio in the Palermo district, and the only downfall i can see so far is that i’m on a fairly busy street. there seems to be a constant stream of traffic throughout the day, which i’m hoping will die down later in the evening. it’s also not super close to the subway, but the walk isn’t too bad.

after i got settled in, i made my way to the La Recoleta Cemetery where Eva Peron is buried. now here is where i thought i’d hear Don’t Cry for me Argentina, but it didn’t happen, everyone was most respectful.

i do love walking around a cemetery, especially one like this. it sounds a little odd, but i could spend hours wandering, and i did.

my hours of wandering made me a little hungry so i stopped off at San Juanino, a little spot recommended for it’s tasty treats from different regions. i stuck with this region and had a couple of empanadas and a salad.

i meandered back toward home and stopped off at the market to pick up some staples. shopping was a bit of a challenge, the labels weren’t always clear and i didn’t bring my dictionary. i think i did ok, guess i’ll know for sure tomorrow when i make breakfast!
