Still having the time of my life here in BA with Bob and Jason — the people are awesome!  It’s so European — just like being in Italy and Spain at the same time.  Everything is so classy, the restaurants and AWESOME seafood and of course vino.  Been spending lots of time with the boys shopping like crazy… Bob’s friend Jason is very nice he’s taking full advantage of the bargains to decorate his new Dartmouth St. condo.  It’s actually kinda fun… spent the afternoon in awesome antique shops  LOTS of great stuff for ridiculously cheap prices.

I found some really cool antique ceramic tiles with boats and stuff that are really neat but I’m still looking for just the right stuff.  I did buy an awesome piece of wall art at a shop specializing in Native American Argentine crafts.   It’s really beautiful and unique,  most of all it’s not at all “colorful” and so Paul will love it and it will go perfectly in the house.  The boys love it too and might buy similar ones.  Also there’s some REALLY COOL furniture stores with GREAT pieces chairs, tables, bookshelves, bars that would go wonderfully in the house.  They are kinda a Western style, but with some Mexican characteristics, beautiful hand-wrought iron handles.  They actually are kind of mission style.  And the prices are like a fraction of what they’d cost in the states.  Paul would burst down here.  Lots of amazing things to buy.
