It's raining in Buenos Aires

Hey folks! Boy, is it raining in Buenos Aires! Today I got a good taste of the rain we had after Day's friend in Buenos Aires. You didn't know that, right? Yesterday was "friend's day" in Buenos Aires. Why? Well, we love to celebrate, we love friends, we love hanging out so why don't have a special day of the year dedicated exclusively to our friends?

A man called Enrique Febbraro, an argentinean profesor, musician and dentist came up with this great idea honoring the first moon landing on 1969. According to Febbraro, on July 20 19

69 we were all pending on these 3 astronauts and therefore we were friends with them and at the same time they were friends with the universe. Hence, he thought this would be a great opportunity to have an international friend's day. Every year we gather and the city receives thousands of friends who gather in order to celebrate. This year, due to the swine flu we had less people on restaurants but it was still fun!

Now, back to the weather. Friend's day went thru just fine, however around 3 AM we begun hearing the thunders that anticipated the huge storm that came afterwards. We had lots of rain that lasted all night and in fact, right now it is 4.30 PM and it's still raining. Temperature now is 51.

Check this picture, it is from 9 AM this morning right at the city center. I love Buenos Aires

downtown, even when it's raining!

Ever wander what to do in Buenos Aires on rainy days? Belgrano is a great option, you have a couple of museams and lots of cafes to spend the day so don't let the rain stop you!

It's also cold so if you are going out don't forget your umbrella and a warm jacket. In fact, make sure you do this for the next couple of days since we have more rain ahead at least for tomorrow and cold is coming. Beware that friday's low temperature is expected to be around 33 so Buenos Aires keeps getting cold!

See ya!
