Persicco is where I will wait for your gals, around 3pm. Rain or shine, I will be there. Are we the only ones in on this vr236. I would think that during a rainy day a nice cup of espresso with new acquaintances would be just the right combo, no?

charly, what a perspective you have put in. I think honesty and not sugar-coating things that are glaringly apparent here gives the rest of us more knowledge of what the real deal is. Thank you for saying what you said. I think you never have to apologize for saying what you observe. People...

Everyone, HI. The address of this Persicco is, 886 esquina (corner of) Migueletes and MAURE (not Gorostiaga, as previously stated). This is in the Las Canitas area. You can't miss the place coz about the Persicco sign are the words LA STAMPA (which is a restaurant). See you all there...

So 3pm then, right? See you there. Ciao.

It is in Belgrano.

vr236, I am so in for coffee. I love Persicco coffee, so my vote goes for that place, corner of Migueletes and Gorostiaga. Please, please....

syngirl, auntieapple is not back from her UK trip yet; give her another 2 weeks or so and hopefully we can all get together with her. The exchange so far is interesting already that I am sure the next coffee, glass of wine ( or glasses) would be loads of fun.

Does this have an age limit as well? Some of us single women are past the thirty something age bracket..Alice would you like to start a new thread - just for this- I am sure you will get a lot of response.

I thought there was a "stop coverage" of this event by various leading news agencies over restriction disputes. Associated Press and Reuters were on the news since yesterday speaking about the "objectionable and troubling conditions" imposed on them.

Ernie, hi. I am at home looking at every single links that you had posted. I find the most recent ones extremely informative and interesting. Ian Dury is fabulous. Of course, you know I do not have a clue about local musicians so I am learning. I am at home getting over the 48hr flu and an ear...

DonQ, I am now presently in BsAs again after years of coming back and forth; and I am happy as can be. I am living my everyday life ( buying the paper, grocery, cafe, some work, friends, movies) and I do not speak any castellano spanish. Could you imagine that?! ! I come here for the people...

Rosieposie, welcome back.

How about Persicco on Migueletes? They have great coffee, teas and pastries. Prices are reasonable for 3pm tea or coffee.

Brian, the books will be in english (regardless of origin of writer) and would be readily available locally, right?

My copy is the english translated one. I bought it on my way back to the US;x it is not peculiar at all for you to read spanish better than speaking or writing it. In today's time and age, we are a generation of soundbytes and anytime we do a mental exercise like reading, we enjoy it more and...

I am with you on this syngirl. Thin, just like morbidly obese, does not equate healthy living. Both extremes have their ill effects. An anorexic also die of heart failure and worst, they do with bad skin and bad teeth. DonQ, I am not sure why you hand around Walmart to check out girls but if...

The book I can recommend "as very good read" was a book I picked up a year or so ago entitled "Los Mitos de la Historia Argentina 2" by Felipe Pigna. It explained more than just accounts of chronological history but it dealt much more on the Argentinian people, very informative. I picked up...

A collaborative business from my fiance's family is underworks and I am happy to help out any way I can. Does this count as opening a business tourism? Actually we are upgrading an existing business (20+ years old) merceria on Cabildo to a boutique store in Las Canitas. I thought dedicating...

I am returning to BA on Monday, so I am missing the baexpat dinner (yet again!) and this Sunday's get together but I hope to join the group another time. My fiance is opening a store for me and I hope the ladies will be able to visit my store sometime in September - the store is under renovation...

I am surprised that people who posted in 2005 have not replied much on their "matured" perspective on BA circa 2007. I have heard people long of years past and bygone years - and I was just wondering what I missed in 2005 as an expat in BA, that was why I was asking.
