We definitely had a late start to the day and didn't do much but hang around the apartment for most all of it but eventually we had to go to Daniela's office really quickly to get a couple things done towards the evening. That only took a few minutes and then we had dinner at La Trattoria de Mambrino which is just off Ave Larco near the big round about with Pardo.
Daniela had a salad then a stewed beef rib it over pasta and I had the gnocchi ala pesto. I forgot to take pictures of the food until we had the dessert. We split a bottle of Argentinian Malbec with the dinner. For dessert I had a grappa (it was listed as a pisco but was Italian which is a grappa) and an apple dessert that had calvados and vanilla ice cream and was really good. Daniela had a cappuccino which came with some chocolate that she really liked. It was a very nice restaurant and the food was very good but it will apparently be moving to Larcomar by June or July because they feel they will get more foot traffic there even though the place has been where it is for 30 years or so.
After dinner we had to run quick to get a gift for Estef and we were able to just before the store closed. We walked most of the way down Ave Larco and then picked up a taxi to Barranco where the club El Dragon del Sur was. That was where Estef was having her birthday party. We got in and got a water and juice and sat at the bar while Estef was waiting for all of her guests to arrive by midnight. They were playing reggae music which I thought was odd. We stayed around for a while and talked to Estef for a few minutes but after a couple of nights of being up so late Daniela could see I was exhausted and we left. We walked down the streets of Barranco for a bit until their main square then got a taxi back to the hotel and called it a night.
