Sweltering in BA

Buenos Aires is a combination of the old and the new, all with a very European flair. Next to an older Bauhaus building is a modern high rise like this with its embedded art gallery.

Today in the 90+ degree humidity we walked to the botanical gardens, where even the butterflies were flying slowly.

Halfway through the gardens we opted to escape to the A/C of the Evita Museum. I seem to have cut off her beautiful head in the above photo. She was beloved by Argentina's working class, dying an unfortunate death from cancer at age 33.

Tonight we plan to attend Shabbat services with my friend from 40 years ago. It will be interesting to see if we recognize one another. 

It seems impossible that snow is coming once again to DC when it is so hot here.
