Today I took Tatiana (the little sweetie that I nanny) to swimming lessons then we went to Cafe Buenos Aires for lunch. We went there last week on Thursday when she proceeded to make friends with the servers and bus boys... ah Tati. I think it's my new favorite lunch spot in Santa Barbara. It reminds me so much of Argentina with their "palmitos con salsa golf" and lomito sandwiches.
We were chatting with the Argentine server and Uruguayan employee from where we sat by the fountain and when I went inside to use the restroom I saw Roberto playing the bandoneon, an accordion-like instrument used for tango music. Apparently, he was the first bandoneon player in the Uruguayan philharmonic. The owner of Cafe Buenos Aires (who is from Buenos Aires) went in search of a bandoneon player and ended up bringing Roberto back to Santa Barbara to play in their tango group that plays every Wednesday night. I told Roberto that I'd love to work in the cafe when I get back to Santa Barbara in late January and he said he could work that out. Not bad.
Tati and I had the privilege of listening to the tango group practice after we ate lunch on the patio. Que rica es la vida!
