Choripan...Heaven on a Bun.

I have to admit, I'm not the kind of guy who's into buying food off of some street vendor's cart. Unless it is the fish tacos on the beaches of Mexico, or the hot dogs off streets of New York, or the burritos and egg rolls off the carts around the University of Texas campus. And of course, corny dogs at the Texas State Fair.

OK, so maybe I am into street food.

Well, nothing comes close to the goodness of the Choripan. Choripan vendors can be found all over the the parks of Palermo and they serve up heaven on a warm tasty bun.

I guess Choripan is short for Chorizo y Pan (Sausage and bread for you gringos back home). Only the chorizo sausage is not the same firery, spicy-hot variety us Texicans are used to. Porteños don't like anything hot or too spicy.

The chorizo here is just a good old fashion sausage similar to what they have in Spain. Not very hot at all. But boy is it good.

Grill it up and throw it on a toasted bun and you have the closest thing you'll get to fast food here. Only 100 times better.

Belgrano and Palermo Parks

Took a walk with fellow expat Tom on Friday. It was a long route with plenty of photo ops. Here are just a few of the Pics.


We started near River Plate's Stadium (Ground zero for some fútbol fans here). We then went along the river and crossed along the Jorge Newberry Airport and into the Belgrano Parks. We saw quite a bit of Wildlife.



Some younger than others...





Then we finished up in the Palermo Parks near Plaza Italia.
