Las cositas lindas de Buenos Aires (the beautiful things about Buenos Aires)

- little cookies and little pitcher of water that come with coffee
- families out on the street late at night
- outdoor patios – even outside the kioskos
- men walking around with flowers to bring home
- porteros (doormen)
- older gentlemen walking down the street singing to themselves
- bread with homemade butter (that almost takes like sour cream, but I love it) or other spreads
- delivery of everything (especially empanadas, but also ice cream, liquor, and toiletries)
- each building has its own unique sidewalk design
- dogs without leashes – haven’t seen any dog run off or disobey the owner
- the hour when all of the preschools let out
- dog walkers (except when they let the dogs crap all over)
- buses make a whistle noise like dad’s
- merienda hour!
- WIFI everywhere – even in the kiosks (not sure who uses it there)
