Arriving in Buenos Aires

We left Cape Town in Tuesday, April 14, changed planes in Johannesburg and flew overnight into Paris.  With an all-day layover in Paris, Nick stayed at the Air France lounge while I took the train into the city and wandered around a bit.  We then flew overnight to Buenos Aires and were met at the airport and transported to our apartment on Thursday, April 16.  The apartment owner, a local attorney, welcomed us and exchanged some dollars for pesos at the unofficial "blue" rate (about 30% better than the official rate).
The apartment is very comfortable, bright and airy, second bedroom (our "luggage room"), very well equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, etc.  We're staying in Recoleta, a rather upscale neighborhood famous for its cemetery and the many dog walkers strolling the sidewalks.
