Springtime in Buenos Aires

Springtime in Buenos Aires is one of a kind. The city transforms from classic in gray to a beautiful urban metropolis, framed by lush trees and lavendar flowers.

After months of the sun setting even before I left class and pushing through biting weather, the longer and warmer days have brought a new list of activities. Mid-mornings are spent reading over espresso and pasteries at an outdoor cafe in Belgrano R. Lazy days are spent in the various parks and plazas around the city, such as my personal favorites San Martin and Jardin Botanico. A free afternoon may mean visiting an interesting museum, such as Museo Evita, which delves into the woman behind the icon. And nights spent searching for the perfect drink in Palermo to cool the day's heat.

Whatever is on the day's itinerary is made sweeter, if not by the delicious ice cream, then by the thought that its springtime in BsAs.
