Buenos Aires cafe bars

Just a quick photographic post today. Because, in what seems to be becoming a tradition. I've returned from South America with part of me broken. This time, it's my lungs.

I developed a cough after a couple of days. By the time I boarded the plane to come home. it had escalated to a near-constant coughing fit. I'm sure the passengers seated around me appreciated that.

It was so bad, I went straight to my doctor. Who diagnosed me with pneumonia. Iy's my fourth bout. I guess I'm just lucky.

I'll be taking things very easy for the next few days. Some photos of Buenos Aires locales will have to bide you over for a while.

Yikes! Look after yourself - we've only just lost one historical beer authority, so I wouldn't want anything to happen to you!
(Which isn't to say that if Martyn hadn't gone I wouldn't give a damn...)

Sorry to hear about your condition Ron. I do hope it's not too debilitating. Take it easy for a bit. I'm sure the family will take good care. Best wishes. S.

How many Abts a day did the doctor recommend?

He didn't mention a specific number. Then again, I didn't ask.

Take care of yourself Ron. Hope you have a speedy recovery. Pneumonia is no joke.
