After sleeping pretty well on the flight over, I arrived to find a a gorgeous and sunny day (did someone swap NYC and London weather?). Just had a light picnic lunch and read in the park before getting one serious pedicure. Returned for a nap and then had dinner with Sara at the Tapa Room at the Providores, which is sort of Kiwi/global. We split a watermelon and feta salad with pumpkin seeds and pickled walnuts, a fried whole egg, garlicky snails atop of chorizo mashed potatoes, and chunks of grilled lamb with mixed greens, yogurt, and another sauce that was sort of like a heartier, more flavorful tahini on a pita. We finished off with the local cheese plate, including a very mild goat cheese which wasn't half bad when topped with the onion/cherry jam. About to drift off on the brand new aerobed, as its predecessor met an early demise before I arrived.
