So i forgot when I was at the internet place here in buenos aires that I still had to keep up my blog. I was here like 3 or 4 times yesterday getting activities and addresses. So here is a quick shopping list of what I have done in buenos aires since i have arrived in this big big city.

< i arrived at the bus terminal and then took a taxi to my hotel= i was way over charge for the taxi and the guy totally knew he played me but i don´t really care i made it to my hotel. What goes around come around

< did another study out of my max lacado book. Real good book, wow

< Explored the 2 main drags that interected very close to the hotel. Av. de Julio is one of them and is actually one of the wides streets in the world. 1 street equals 22 lanes, Ya it´s really big and if I wanted to run across it I could make it in one seccion of pedestian walking. but it ussually takes me to because I like to walk with caution because cars have right of way not pedestrians.

< While i was exploring i walk past a theater and saw they had a show. it wasn´t to late it started at 8. It was an opera which was a new experience and it was weird but still entertaining, for the first half atleast. i don´t remember what happened in the show after intermission because i was falling asleep in my wooden upper deck seat. i guess i was more tired than i felt when i bought the ticket.


< went to the tango shoe place that my teacher in San Nicholas suggested. I got some new shoes and I really like them. it was great every guy shoe in the place was 300 peso. like 75 US Very nice especially since i didn´t even have to get a cab or ride the subway. My hotel is 1 block up and 6 blocks over, what luck i have cuz i didn´t feel like getting hose again with a taxi.

< walked around explored the back streets and found a delicious bread shop. Saddly i can´t remember where it is now so i´m still kinda hungry, today. while walking i figured out where i was going to go for dinner

< i ate a pizza then went to a place i sellected for dessert. they didn´t have the delicious argentine desserts i was hoping for but I was actually there for the show more than the food. they had a tango quartet playing that night and since i had bought shoes i thought it would be fitting. i didn´t dance partially because i shoed up in tennis shoes and partially because they tucked the single guy in the corner away from the 4 or 6 people that did have a little floor space to dance. it was still great. 10:00 to 1:00 may have been a little long i got a late start this morning.

< this morning i got up and was determined to find my fancy bread shop. but gave up when i realized that everything was closed still. apparently they city doesn´t start moving again until 11:30 sunday morning. cuz the town was still hopping at 1:00 and i was going to bed.

< now i´m going to go to the zoo. i´m going to need to ride the subway. i really don´t like riding subway but i think after looking at the subway map for 3 days i understand it. everyone has told me it´s one of the best way to move about the city and that it is a very good train. but that is still yet to be seen because i´m nervous to go into the hole.

other than that i don´t know what to tell you. . . . Hiedi was right this town is filthy. she told me when she came here the city was dirty. i have seen dirty before i work on a farm but this is a different dirty. the city has people walking around sweeping scrap paper and cigarette buds and garbage into little buckets. but it doesn´t really matter because every night a homeless man will walk around an stick 6 to 15 call girl stickers on every post, phone, sign, maybe even a slow moving stray dog. That is one thing i will not miss when i leave tomorrow. i don´t really enjoy the little call girl tornados that swirl up in the wind. Because they are yanked off thrown of the ground the next day by people wanting to lean on poles and make calls on pay phones. Other than that it´s still a dirty town.

I think salta is still winning in the nice quiet a tourist town cuz i could have stayed there for another month. i think i will be stuffed and had enough buenos aires at around 6:00 monday afternoon. hope all is well stated side, have a nice day in the cold cuz i haven´t had a night get colder than 50 and the average as temperatures have been 87 with 50 humidity. That one day of rain was kinda a bummer cuz i lost my phone that day but i can´t complain about the weath

sorry i didn´t proof read this blog i hate paying for the internet by the minute
