Friday December 8th - National Holiday and others

Hello everybody,

I just wanted to remind you that this Friday we have a national holiday.

What about a ride on the Caballito's historic tramway?

Quote

Address: MITRE, EMILIO y BONIFACIO, JOSE

A ride on the Tranvía Histórico is a fun, free weekend activity for all the family. The historic trams/streetcars, lovingly maintained by Amigos del Tranvía (friends of the tramway) association, run on a two-kilometre loop in Caballito on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. The British magazine Tramways and Urban Transit included the circuit in its international top 12.

It was the arrival of the tramway that led to the growth of this neighbourhood in the first half of the 20th century, and near to the tramway's starting and finishing point, you can find a residential area known as the Barrio Inglés, or English neighbourhood, because of the style of the large houses, which have been declared protected buildings by the city government.

The stop is at Emilio Mitre 500, and the tram runs at the following times:

December to February: Saturdays and public holidays, every 20 minutes from 5pm to 8.30pm. Sundays, everty 20 minutes from 10am to 1pm and from 5pm to 8.30pm.

March to November: Saturdays and public holidays, every 20 minutes from 4pm to 7.30pm. Sundays, every 20 minutes from 10am to 1pm and from 4pm to 7.30pm.

Free.

Ditto! But no Peru Beach for us - we have moved downtown!

Just a regular day of work... on the sunny terrace

Raise your hand if you actually knew which holiday it was.

Crickets!

The holiday when I used to make the xmas tree back home

Talkin' about Mariachis, about a month ago I was walking to Jumbo Almagro and in a minor street, in front of what looked like a cultural center/association, a whole band of well-rounded Mariachis all dressed up started coming out from a tiny car. It was one of those surreal moments... I had never seen Mariachis before (except maybe in DisneyWorld Florida).

THEM! Now the questions are: how do Mariachis differ one to another? And how to they fit in a regular city car, guitars, hats and all?

By the way, I like the Mexican restaurant near La Lucila train station. The owner was super nice and the food was good!

We're thinking of going there for Adri's birthday next week, now that you mention it. I park my bike outside everyday and have never been there

They are open only at night and the place gets crowded quickly. We had to wait for 40 mins on a Saturday evening. The inside would need a little maintenance but the plates were good (my first Mexican, to be honest, but it was tasty and genuine). They make their own tortillas and the selection is wide. We were suggested to try one of their combo dishes, enough to fill us up. Some of them include the margarita, if I remember right, so check the menu well before ordering further drinks!
