on saturday night, we again got ourselves together and went out for what was supposed to only be dinner at a restaurant for a friend of eugene's who was celebrating his 21st birthday. im not sure what i had in mind, but the night turned out wayy better than expected, and lucky for me, i met about 300 new friends. so we get to this italian restaurant and to my surprise there are about 20 people already sitting there, the majority of them are from england, but there were some chicos from argentina and brazil as well. dinner was great, nothing magical until we ate dessert, which was a traditional argentine dish made by one of the girls and was this awesome cookie/cake mix. we had planned on going back home, but i randomly got along really well with the english girls who insisted we join the party. the first party we went to was certainly fun--the students from the united states were teaching the kids from the other countries classic drinking games. i.e. beer pong, but the second party we went to was crazyyy. this party was in a little apartment, but the girls in charge had hired a dj. there were people all over the place, having a good time, dancing...the normal things. at about 6AM the police showed up and basically were like you need to turn off the music, because it is 6 in the morning. so after that we headed back to the apartment...
on sunday, we went to this HUGE outdoor market called san telmo with literally HUNDREDS of vendors and performers selling everything from food to drinks to jewelry, shoes, everything. it was delightful :)
some street vendors...
tango in the streets (obviously)...
sunday night we just relaxed because i had to catch a flight on monday morning. here is a view of buenos aires from the plane:
