My birthday has come and gone. I had a decent time during it though.
I woke up kinda sick, but got over it by the mid afternoon. At first I was uninterested in going out. A guy from Australia showed up and we ended up going out on the town. First we tried out a parilla (grill) and had some amazing steak. Of course by the end of this it was pouring down rain. It made no show of slowing down so we grabbed a taxi and headed into Recoleta. This was at a bit past 9pm which is very early for Buenos Aires. Thankfully, it being St. Patricks and probably the rain helped to get people into the bars earlier than the normal midnight hour.
My Australian friend (who speaks no Spanish) took off around midnight, while I stayed talking to a few people from Chile that I met. I made it back to the hostel around 3.30am, having left with the bar still packed. The next day ended up being a day of rest.
