We had explored part of the city near us known for its local restaurants
this afternoon and decided to look at the rest of the section last
evening. Although one establishment identified this as the "Belgrano"
district, our maps suggest that it is better known in books as Las
Canitas, the heart of which (restaurant district) is near the Mtro Carranza (Subte, Line D, Green Line). We ate at home
earlier than most restaurants tend to be ready for business, and were prepared to hit the pavement by 8 p.m. to see action in that
non-tourist part of the city.
The first thing that impresses us is people being able to eat outside,
at night, and it is still winter for three more weeks. Granted,
temperatures here eventually get up to 100F in the summer, but that is also
true of much of North America, and yet most of Canadians and Americans never think of eating
outside during our winters.
The street lights are typically a garish sort of orange, undoubtedly
efficient, but a nightmare for photography.

I should do a series of tight jeans for Argentinian women, for this is clearly the
obligatory style that is now mandatory. I marvel at how young women manage to pour their slender bodies into
those tight pants. Thank goodness this style is not current for elderly Canadian males, especially since I'm a pleats-and-suspenders sort of
guy.
