It is difficult to type on an iPad; however, if you will excuse my typos and abbreviations, I would love to tell you about the adventure we've been having in Buenos Aires. Ever since arriving on Friday evening, we've been adventuring around the big city. On Saturday we went on a bus tour with the BEST TOUR GUIDE IN BUENOS AIRES!!!! We had a blast getting to explore the city with her. She took us to places like the Plaza del Mayo, The National Cemetery,San Telmo, and Caminito street in La Boca (the art district where thousands of artists display their work and you can watch people Tango in the street). I can say as a former, professional tour guide this was the best tour I've ever been on. Maria Angeles Fernandez-Best Tour Guide in Buenos Aires. After the tour we went to an art museum and saw art from all over the world. It was the first time I had seen a Degas or a Monet. It was a pretty amazing free museum. After the museum we explored a nearby artisan market where vendors are required to make their own goods. It was one of the best markets I've ever been too. They had everything!
The Rest of the Weekend Summary (more to come later)
Sunday started with church and ended with an Opera. Pretty much the perfect day. In between I did some serious shopping and found some amazing souvenirs in a market in San Telmo that lasted for hours. I walked in one direction for an hour and a half and didn't make it to the end.
Today was also exceptional. Spent all day at an hour in Buenos Aires called Tigre. It is a city built on a river delta. It was awesome. By far my favorite day of the whole study abroad experience.
I have a lot of funny stories to tell and some awesome pictures, so check back soon.
