I feel like I have been in Buenos Aires for weeks and not just days!  Not sure why the time seems to be going by so slowly.  Considering I didn't even really want to be here when I first arrived, I actually had a really nice time here in Argentina.

There was a lot of walking and looking through markets during my time here.  The one museum I did go to with a couple of friends was full of doors...we finally figured out there was more to the Museo de la cuidad (City Museum) in the next building!  After them teasing me about where I had brought them. 

If you are coming to BA, get ready to party!  I could only handle one night of going out with a group from the hostel.  I came in pretty late, but there are days when the crowd (much more calm then the crowd at the clubs) on the terrace outside here has night owls overlapping with the breakfast eating group.  I must say...I relinquish the claim that NYC never sleeps to Buenos Aires!  I did try to catch up the next few nights though! 

I did get to see some Tango while I was here!  Made it a stipulation that I had to!  Last night at the 11pm show, 2 friends from the hostel and I went to famous Cafe Tortoni to see an intimate show.  There was a good bit of singing along with the dancing, but the music was what absolutely made the show! 

Can't believe I'm off to Peru now...but I'm literally hurrying to get up a quick message before I get picked up to head to the airport!  Getting excited...:-)

Much love,
