Last Monday I went to Buenos Aires with Alejandra for the day... sounds exotic, but it isn't. It was all about visas: applying for them and renewing them. I've never been to BA for longer than a day, but I'm always glad to come back to Uruguay. We arrived early in the morning and the one thing that stood out the most to me about the city: the abnormal amount of dog-walkers. Really... they were all over the street/sidewalk/park. I laughed for a long time about one guy and the pack of miniature poodles he had trailing him around the park. He eventually walked by me and I snapped the first picture because, really, it was hilarious. Nothing says manly like a guy with 7 poodles.
Later, we went on a little (and obviously successful) hunt for the new Starbucks store and I ate the best-tasting blueberry muffin (it's been 9 months since a decent muffin!!) and sipped to most delicious vanilla drink (I always forget what they're called.) Alright, that's a whole lot of brackets in one small paragraph, my apologies.
I'm thrilled went when we did, because once school/work was out around 4pm the line-up was huge!! I was told that it was "Starbucks madness" in that part of the city, but I didn't believe it, until now. It's winter and these people CHOSE to stand outside and wait for an over-priced cup of coffee that they evidently could live without until last month, when Starbucks took over.
We also went to see 'The Hulk' because we had 12 hours to kill and what better way to spend time when you're over-tired then sitting in super-comfortable theatre seats watching a huge screen? Although, seeing yet another Marvel superhero movie makes me wonder, when will they finally make a movie about the Flash? I think he's the 2nd coolest superhero and needs his own major motion picture. End of discussion.

I can't see them from the front but I'm pretty sure they aren't really poodles but bichon frisees. Probably a breeder. Either that or a really fluffy westy. But they don't have the build of a poodle. aaaaanyway. lol
The drink looks like a Grande Vanilla Bean Frappuccino with whip. And yes, those muffins are DIVINE! Ahhhh. I want one. Too bad my mom will be sipping starbucks tomorrow while my teeth are getting yanked out.
And lastly, I've never heard of "the Flash"
There's at least one poodle in the bunch, I have one and he looks an awful lot like him. It's not a breeder, in BA everyone lives in apartments and hires dog walkers, so he's not the breeder.
Thanks for the verification on the Starbucks :) Ordering in French, then Spanish, always makes it hard to know the name in English. lol
Lastly, how do you NOT know who the FLash is?!! He wears all read, has a lightning bolt on his chest... ringing any bells?
that and pack o' bichon frisees doesn't have quite the same ring.
