This would be the last stop on my trip. I love this city. I think it is one my favorite cities. I could really see myself living there. I was fantasizing working for a US company while living there. I could party all night, wake up late do some work, and then party some more.
I really got used to having dinner after ten and then going out to the wee hours in the morning. My latest night, which was the second to last night of the trip, ended at 10:30 in the morning. Met some friends for drinks, and then we went out to dinner. Left the restaurant at on,e when we noticed that the only other people there were staff sitting at the bar. We then went to a bar until closing. Then danced tango at Salon Canning until four and headed to another bar. We weren’t ready to go home yet. We talked until we noticed that the sun was up and then ordered another round. By that time we had already been drinking coffee with beer chasers. Something that I really liked. It was kind of awkward stumbling home in the bright sunlight while the city was already in full swing.

I stopped here for just one night, before flying out to Iguazu to see the falls. I came back after Iguazu for a few days.

Sorry that it took so long, but here are some random thoughts and observations from the trip. For those that keep asking me about pictures, I haven’t had the time to setup gallery again on my site, but you can check out pictures at Marilee’s site, here, here, and here.

We headed down to the micro centre on Thursday after breakfast and walked down Florida which is a big shopping area. We walked around for a couple hours. Marilee bought a pair of boots, which were hard to find due to the fact that it was late Spring there. I picked up a couple of DVDs in Spanish for the class my mom is teaching, and a really cool print of Spinetta, an Argentinian musician, from an artist that felt very passionately about him. We then headed back to the casseron for our private lessons.

Tuesday started out with a little fun. We decided to go check out the Museo de Arte Moderno (The Museum of Modern Art) in San Telmo, but when we got there it looked closed. So we rang the doorbell and the man that comes out informs us that the museum is closed for renovations for at least another year. Damn, now what? We walked around a little and found a plaza. Sat down for some nice cold water, sin gas (without gas), and figured out what to do next.
