El Centro - Downtown! Charming, quaint, busy then quiet! Ah, Siesta!!! They live it!!! I loved it!!
That and some Bona Fide coffee and I was good to go! Love the lifestyle! Get your work and errands done in the morning, then home or to a cafe for lunch. Then Siesta. Then it is back to
work or off to visit friends, relatives, the Mall or out for a late (for us in the USA) dinner!!!
One of the first nights in San Juan, we ate dinner at a restaurant near our hotel.
Drove by around 9:30 and it was dead. Back one half hour later and it was filling up fast! Friday night is Men's Night!!! Lots of older gents meeting friends for some Assado (barbecued meat )
served on a hot grill brought to the table still sizzling. YUM!!! Then there's the WINE!!!!!!!!
How does $4 to $6 a BOTTLE!! sound and it is some of the best wine you have ever tasted!!! Simply delicious!!!! What a treat!!! Go Mendoza and San Juan too!!!!!

Hotel Deolinda was home to all out of towners. My door! A nice place and staff!! | |
 |
| Beba and I had a little chat with former President Sarmiento. He believed in the value of education and to this day all Argentinians are entitled to FREE EDUCATION even college! Beba enjoys taking classes in English and the Arts and speaks English well enough for the two of us to go exploring together in both the US and ARGENTINA. |
 |
| Quiet!! Come 2 PM the outdoor cafes and shops experience a mass exodus as everyone heads home for Siesta. Shop owners take in all tables/chairs, umbrellas, signage, etc. only to roll everything out again around 5 0r 6. Amazing!!! |

| Charming!!! |
 |
| This store sells beautiful leather shoes. |
 |
