Today was our last day in Buenos Aires. We take off tomorrow
morning for Iguazu. It has been a fun stay, but I am ready to move on. There
are a lot of people here and I’m about over the hostel situation. Having 5 girls
in one tiny room is tight, plus we are all trying to dry our laundry and it’s
not working. Our room is so humid so nothing will dry. Luckily all of the girls
are cool and we get along really well!
This morning Kristi, Ally, Paige, and I went to a café for a
few hours to drink coffee, eat croissants and blog. It was so nice and
relaxing!
For lunch we went to Ana’s apartment for facturas snacks.
Her apartment is really cool and the pastries were delicious.
After lunch we rode a bus to La Boca. While waiting at the
bus stop we witnessed our first Argentine car accident! I am amazed that was
the first one we saw with the way they drive around here. La Boca is only a 5
minute bus ride, so much closer than yesterday’s ride. La Boca is a very
colorful neighborhood, and I mean that literally. The majority of the buildings
are painted bright colors. When the immigrants first moved to this area, there
wasn’t a lot of money so they painted everything bright cheery colors to keep
their moods high.
We went into the PROA Modern Art Museum and looked at the
exhibit, walked around the market, then sat at a café and had coffee and
pastries. Talk about a sugar high today. I finished 2 coffees in less than 24
hours! Also I found a brand of mate called ‘amanda,’ so I had to get it!
This evening was spent buying face lotion (because my face
is super dried out for some reason), playing Egyptian Rat Screw, and packing my
bag up. I may have to unzip the expandable portion of my bag, but I am going to
try my hardest not to. There is a possibility that they will only allow us to
carry on one bag total, not even a purse and backpack. So I may have to shove
my purse into my backpack! There is also a possibility that the carry on size
bag here is smaller than in the US, so I may have to check my bag. Off to
Iguazu on a 5:30am flight tomorrow morning!
