So quickly I will explain the last couple of days. I wrote a nice, witty entry last night and then all was deleted when I ran out of time. The joys of traveling and attempting to do the simple things of life that become extremely time consuming.
3/2 We wandered around Recoleta. The posh area in Buenos Aires. We stopped at a hotel that Poppy wanted to see, supposedly there was a bar on the roof top that overlooked the city. We went up, saw nothing came down to have the doorman waiting for us. The hotel was rather expensive and I guess we didn´t look like normal clientele. Another young cutie took us up and showed us what used to be a bar, but is being converted into a pool. I will post pictures when I am capable. I can post on facebook, but not here. We then walked around the cemetery and saw Evita´s grave. That night we went to a Tango show, and while being slight cheesy, I have to give props to the Argentinians cuz the peeps can dance!
3/3 We took the ferry across the Rio de la Plata and chilled in Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay. It was a small colonial town with cobbled streets. Super Cute, easy going just a place to shop and eat and relax. We did mainly shopping, some eating and sat from time to time like the exhausted tourists we were on the many benches around town. Four sentences seems adequate to sum up this town.
3/4 We kicked it in San Telmo today. Can you guess what we did...yes more shopping. My mom and aunts would be so proud! Ate some yummy empanadas and drank some yerba mate. We also spent a good deal of our time fighting with computers and telephones and figuring out how to wash clothes. It rained all day, the gortex jacket has come in handy, but I feel like one of those posters of the pissed off looking cats that are soaked to the bone! Poppy´s credit/debit cards were blocked today and I was everyone´s sugar mama! Just now we have sorted it all out, bought our bus tickets for Mendoza and I was finally able to print my stuff for Project HOPE that I´ve been trying to access for days. Well I am off to dinner now and it is our last night in Buenos Aires so we will try to do it right. I did buy some Tango shows so I´ll see if I can manage to look cute and not break a leg!
