Tuesday was Argentina’s Independence Day celebration, so we were off work for the holiday. Lucky for us, the presidential grandstand and band were right below our balcony, so we were able to watch parts of the military parade from our balcony. It lasted over two hours, with droves of men in all manner of uniforms marching for the most part, followed by a few tanks, then a few regiments of horses, including a mounted band.
I stayed home from work on Monday to continue nursing my cold (which I am still trying to shake off) and have tried to just take it easy all week. I ventured out yesterday to pick up my beautiful new black leather trench coat and meet Lea for brunch at Marti.
John and I finished (and enjoyed) “A Man in Full” and thoroughly enjoyed “A Suitable Boy,” set in 1950s India (watch it!). I finished the documentary on the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (oddly additive and fun), and we continue to watch “Presumed Innocent” and “The Bear.” I finished reading “Trainwreck” (liked it) and reread Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” and just started “Under the Bridge.”
