Home base

Tres de Febrero is where I'm based. I'm staying with my friend Javier and his mother Vita in the Nuñez barrio (neighbourhood). Its three stops on the train from Retiro station which is pretty close to the downtown area or the subway gets even closer to town (runs under Cabildo).

The three residents of 2966:

Me

Vita
Born in Bolivia, emigrated to BA over 20 years ago. With limited kitchen resources, manages to cook/blend/juice up a storm!
No hablo ingleise.

Tres de Febrero is Feb 3. Javi doesn't know why the street is named after that date, or why the parallel street is named Sept 11! Curious.
