Sorry that it took so long, but here are some random thoughts and observations from the trip. For those that keep asking me about pictures, I haven’t had the time to setup gallery again on my site, but you can check out pictures at Marilee’s site, here, here, and here.

We headed down to the micro centre on Thursday after breakfast and walked down Florida which is a big shopping area. We walked around for a couple hours. Marilee bought a pair of boots, which were hard to find due to the fact that it was late Spring there. I picked up a couple of DVDs in Spanish for the class my mom is teaching, and a really cool print of Spinetta, an Argentinian musician, from an artist that felt very passionately about him. We then headed back to the casseron for our private lessons.

Tuesday started out with a little fun. We decided to go check out the Museo de Arte Moderno (The Museum of Modern Art) in San Telmo, but when we got there it looked closed. So we rang the doorbell and the man that comes out informs us that the museum is closed for renovations for at least another year. Damn, now what? We walked around a little and found a plaza. Sat down for some nice cold water, sin gas (without gas), and figured out what to do next.

I went to sleep around 1am Wednesday night. Woke up around eight thirty, quarter to nine on Thursday morning. Spent the day at work. Left early around 3:30 and went home to finish packing and clean up the apartment. I decided not to go to sleep Thursday night, because I was flying out at 6am Friday morning, and the cab was picking me up at 4am, to take me to the airport. So I hungout at my local pub for a few hours, walked around for a little bit, and then just vegged on my couch for a couple of hours watching MASH. I have this strange ability to be able to wake up at the end of any episode just as the credits roll, so I wasn’t too concerned about falling asleep. I stayed up most of the night, but fell asleep around 3 and woke up at 3:30 just as the episode was ending. Got up, changed into the clothes that I was going to travel in and waited for the cab to arrive.
