A week has flown by very very fast. I meant to write earlier but life in the hostel and in BA in general does not leave a lot of time....however a recap.
After my steak and rain walk on Monday, Tuesday I went for a walk and to do some errands. I walked to the river again, past Casa Rosada, met a friend for coffee and generally explored the city. Wednesday my day was interrupted by being told I had to move rooms...annoying hostel...but after I walked to Recoleta and walked around the cemetery which is incredible. Thousands of tombs that could double as summer houses..some so old and decrepit you could see the bones through the doors. That evening we had a party in the hostel and danced for hours.
Thursday I simply did more walking, the dancing having worn me and my feet out! However I did go to San Telmo, to the market and looked at some really lovely things...old leather bags...buckets of buttons....and chops of meet all chock block in an old warehouse.
That night I went to my first BA club, 69, which had a tranny show! Entertaining to say the least, though more impressive was a break dancing show in between the tranny bits.. some really talented dancers.
Friday it rained and I went to Malba. A lovely musuem, though I was soaking wet as walked most of the way there.
Overall impression of BA is very favorable. I leave tomorrow morning for Salta, but don't want to go. Am going for a final steak tonight and an early flight tomorrow.
