lunes typica

The nights in Buenos Aires go on forever, even Monday nights. Maybe especially Monday nights, because you just don't expect anything to really happen on a Monday night.



Ernesto called Plaza Serrano "the heart of Palermo." It is not even a plaza, not really, but a clustering of open-air bars around a triangular playground. Some of the bars don't close. Or, some will close for an hour between 6 and 7 a.m., during which time they won't serve you, but you can still chill.

Palermo is full of tourists and expats. This is Piero, an Italian currently living in Barcelona and visiting Argentina. I managed to hang with him well past sunrise without a single word of English passing between us.
