Plaza de Mayo, Casa Rosada, Puerto Madero, etc.

Saturday: Bianca and I went to Belgrano and had a huge and delicious dessert with my friend Mauro. Bianca, Ale, and I planned to go out and dance, but I overdid it walking around the city the other day and my leg hurts. Instead we stayed in and had a nice dinner (AMAZING empanadas) with Silvana and her boyfriend Marcelo. It was a good time. This was my first time meeting Marcelo, but he's really cool and SUPER nice :)

Sunday: I spent the morning with the fam, then went to the Casa Rosada for a free tour of the interior. Very cool- now I can check that off my bucket list! After that, Bianca and I went to Burger King and this great book store in the mall. After browsing there for a while, I decided I need to return with about 500 pesos in hand, because I'm gonna STOCK UP on cool books you can't get in the states.

Monday: I had breakfast with Silvana and watched the morning news. There's some crazy stuff goin' on in this world, and Buenos Aires is certainly no exception to that :/ After breakfast, I went to Puerto Madero and revisited some of my favorite spots here in the city. I also went and got a few books on Corrientes, a street known for its theater and for its bookstores. In the evening, we all watched 21 Jump Street (with subtitles for the fam) and ate junk food together. Sad news: I felt a cold coming on all day and was sniffling quite a bit. Now I've got a full-force cold and runny nose goin' on. For some reason, I seem to get sick quite a bit in Buenos Aires. I think the air quality, as well as the germs and little bugs my body isn't used to, are part of the reason why. I took a pill and had some mate cocido (a sort of herbal tea that's supposed to be good for when you're sick), so hopefully I start feeling better soon.

Lots of new pictures of my latest adventures on Facebook!

Loving and missing all my favorite people back home, but still having a great time here in Buenos Aires.
