Brrr! Il fait froid! Il fait gris et il souffle un vent violent, 20° seulement.
Marcelo a apporté un autre vélo pour Jens hier soir. Nous allons acheter des lumières mais ils n’ont plus de blanches. Alors j’ai une lumière rouge clignotante devant mon vélo et Jens en a une derrière le sien.
Nous allons au centre en vélo tous les deux. Je ne suis pas assez habillée, j’ai froid! Jens achète une nouvelle SIM carte (chip) pour mon téléphone. La boutique, dans une galerie couverte, mesure 1m x 2,5 m. Le jeune homme, très sympa, a juste la place d’une chaise en largeur. Il met le chip dans mon téléphone et il faut aller le charger à une autre boutique, aussi petite, à 10 m de là. On ne peut pas mettre plus de 30 pesos dessus (45 kr ou 5 € 60).
Balade dans le centre. Les gens sont couverts : gilets, pulls.
Nous passons devant une immense queue, des centaines de gens. Ils font la queue pour acheter des billets pour l’inauguration d’un nouveau stade un peu en dehors de San Juan le 17 Mars. Et bien sûr, il y aura un match de football, Argentine-Venezuela. Et ici, le football, c’est quelque chose.
Nous voulions déjeuner au restaurant végétarien mais il est fermé et il y a des scellés sur la porte suite à une inspection. C'est incroyable, il avait l'air très propre. Bien sûr je n'ai pas vu les cuisines mais il donnait une très bonne impression. Alors qu'on voit parfois des bouis-bouis qui ne sont pas fermés ...
Donc notre déjeuner aujourd'hui: Empanadas et salade.

Retour à l’hôtel. Il fait toujours chaud dans la chambre, les murs de béton emmagasinent la chaleur. Blog, travail pour Jens, sieste.
Nous sommes invités à diner chez Ines, une prof. de géophysique à l’Université. Elle et son mari, Horacio, habitent assez près de l’Institut où Jens travaille. Nous regardons bien sur le plan et en route. Il fait nuit, l’invitation est pour 9h. On roule, on roule et … on se perd. Les grandes rues sont bien marquées mais pas les petites. On se renseigne, les gens savent ou ne savent pas. Jens téléphone à Ines. Enfin on trouve la rue Luis Pasteur, leur rue. Mais au niveau du numéro 2200 et ils habitent au 2600 quelque chose. Il est maintenant 9h30. On suit la rue et elle s’arrête. Il faut contourner un grand groupe d’immeuble et on retrouve la rue Luis Pasteur. On arrive à 9h45, j’ai peur d’être en retard mais en fait on est les premiers. Un autre invité, Mario, de l’INPRES, arrive peu après.
C’est Horacio qui a fait la cuisine. Un poulet à l’ail et aux poivrons. Très bon.
Nous sommes 7 : Ines, Horacio, leurs deux enfants, Nico (à peu près 18 ans) et Anita (à peu près 16 ans), Mario, Jens et moi. Repas très sympa. Les deux jeunes dinent avec nous et sortent après. Ines, Mario et Horacio sont amis depuis le lycée.
Nous rentrons à 3h du matin, en vélo bien sûr. Encore une soirée très agréable.
C'est le premier jour où nous ne sommes pas baignés.

Brrr! It's cold! It is gray and it blows a strong wind, 20 ° only.
Marcelo brought another bike for Jens last night. We're going to buy lights, but they don’t have more white. So I have a flashing red light in front of my bike and Jens has one behind his.
We go to the center by bike. I don’t have enough cloths, I'm cold! Jens buy a new SIM card (chip) for my phone. The store which is in a covered gallery measures 1m x 2.5 m. The young man, very nice, has just room for a chair in width. He puts the chip in my phone and we have to load it in another shop, the same size, 10 m away. It is not possible to put more than 30 pesos (45 or 5 kr € 60) on the chip.
Walk in the center. People have more cloths than me, vests, pullovers.
We pass a huge queue, hundreds of people. They are lining up to buy tickets for the inauguration of a new stadium just outside of San Juan on March 17. And of course there will be a football match, Argentina-Venezuela. And here, football is very important.
We went to the vegetarian restaurant to eat lunch but it was closed after an inspection by the city authorities.
It seems surprising that this restaurant which was very clean is closed. Of course I didn't see the kitchen. At the same time other small places which look terrible are not closed.
So we had empanadas and salad for lunch.
Back at the hotel. It is still warm in the room, the concrete walls store the heat. Blog for me and work for Jens, nap.
We are invited to dine at Ines’ house, a teacher of Geophysics at the University. She and her husband, Horacio, live not very far from the Institute where Jens is working. We look carefullyon at the map and en route. It is dark, the invitation is for 9pm. We bicycle and bicycle ... and we get lost. The main streets are well marked but not the small ones. We ask information, people know or do not know. Jens phones Ines. Finally we find the street Luis Pasteur, their street. But we are close to number 2200 and they live at 2600 something. It is now 9:30. We follow the street and it stops. We must make a large detour around a group of buildings and find Luis Pasteur street again. We arrive at 9:45pm, I'm afraid of being late, but in fact we are the first to arrive. Another guest, Mario, from the INPRES, arrives shortly thereafter.
Horacio is cooking. He made a chicken with garlic and peppers. Very good.
We are 7: Ines, Horacio, their two children, Nico (about 18) and Anita (about 16), Mario, Jens and me. Very nice meal. The two young people dine with us and leave afterwards. Ines, Mario and Horacio are friends since high school.
We go back to the hotel at 3am, by bike of course. Another very enjoyable evening.
First day without swimming.
