My Learning Team finally came for dinner. It took a full semester of postponements and indeed still 2 people dropped last minute for today, but we decided to still go ahead. I prepared Aman and Finny with portuguese specialty codfish with cream, potuguese wine and port, oreo ice cream and sausage roles as starters. I think they liked it. I was happy they could make it as I never get to see them anymore. It is amazing how you spend almost an hour together every morning for an entire year and then people just disconnect. And it sees like it was yesterday that I saw them. I am happy their life is settled and I am happy I could share it with them. I am though finishing the bottle for them, since Finny was on antibiotic and me and Aman had to take care of the Alabastro, but I am sure they will not mind. Dishes are done (surprisingly) and I have 10 things I could do but I guess I will just chill and wait for the weekend to arrive...
Yesterday the internet in Argentina did not cooperate so no update. The day in Mendoza was great, with the nice and small family Vineyard of Altos de Hormigas being one of my favourites. They were very nice and the Malbec reserva the one that finally convinced me to like Malbec! We still had one more vineyard to go, Familia Zucatti, where we had a great lunch but the tours was already too much, we prefered to walk around on our own. But again, very different and very worth it! Today, we added Tevia to the group (after she came in my room at 5am) and repeated the Cemeterio since Tev and Shilps had not seen it, and then Malba. Surprise, surprise. Buenos Aires is not a small city but we still managed to run into Nitin and Ted in the Museum! We had a nice lunch with them and went for some more sightseeing in the afternoon. We went to Plaza de Mayo where the Casa Rosa is, walked down Calle Florida, the shopping street and up to Plaza San Martn for an excellent night view of the city. No
