Weekend

Tonight we are all going for dinner down in San Telmo at a restaurant recommended by Chris' Spanish teacher, should be fun I think. It will be good to be that side of town for a change. The weather is still scorching...

We're going to Tigre tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to get some good pics.
