Mate and Markets

The weather is hot. The sky is blue. The streets of the city are bare. Only a few souls fill the space. It's Sunday morning. Where is everyone I ask? Asleep probably. This is the city that starts to party at 2AM. The day begins late in the afternoon on Sunday.

Sunday afternoon was spent with great new friends at the Recoleta markets. My first day spent with true Argentinian's. We were introduced by a mutual amigo and instantly I felt like I was among close friends again. We explored the area and then found a spot in the shade. The place was filled with music, food and performers - the marionette performer was incredible. Then I was introduced to the Mate... and it was great. I love the idea of mate - sitting around sharing a drink with friends and chatting away. What a way to enjoy the afternoon as it turns to dusk. I couldn't stop smiling... a theme I have noticed all week. I think the company made it even better.

Bliss is the word.
