Birthday with The Puma...

For my 31st birthday, we went out for a lovely dinner with a Spanish school colleague named Allan. He's an English guy who has lived in Germany for the last 20 years or so. He has recently switched to a career that allows him to travel while working, so he's experimenting by spending a couple of months in Buenos Aires.

We went back to Jangada, a restaurant we'd been to with Kia and Gen. It's a Brazilian place specializing in aquatic pigs... well, a type of fish that is purportedly as fatty as pork.

We had a great time with Allan, but unfortunately we forgot the camera, so the true image of Allan will not appear here! Thank heavens he looks exactly like the famous Argentine film star Gabriel Goity. He's stopped on the street and asked for autographs and stuff, so the likeness is striking. So I think it is appropriate to include a picture of Goity instead. Goity's nickname is "El Puma", and that nickname is so fitted to Allan's personality that I now refer to him by that name only.
