the agenda revisited :: argentina day 4

after the usual showers and other morning routines - we headed out in search of the '5th avenue' of buenos aires. darris had other plans and went off on his own. being that it was a sunday there were outdoor markets and fairs all over the city. so we went to take in a few of those on the way. many interesting arts and crafts as well as traditional yerba matte mugs and straws (i bought 3).

we made it down to the 'posh' shopping area - only to find out that the shops were closed - but they were having a photo shoot where it looked like a super model had ran into the back of a chicken truck with feathers all over herself and the car - lord only knows what they were trying to 'sell'.

since the shops were closed - we opted to have a nice lunch outside on the strip outside of the cemetery. it was lovely! such a beautiful day - very warm - very nice.

after lunch - we headed to another part of the city for more markets - puppet theatre - tango dancing - and mimes. at 5:30 our tango lesson was scheduled - so we headed to the hotel to secure our spots. it was outside on a patio at this bed and breakfast. todd and i watched as the others started their lesson. the class had the 5 of us - and 4 from nyc - and a couple of spanish speaking people.

afterwards all of the new yorkers headed to a cafe to meet and greet - found out that one of them actually works at iag with nick - small world gets smaller everyday. we made plans to meet with them later at 'palacio' - parted ways - and headed home for a power nap and dinner.

fast food empanadas for dinner - omg - so good and like a penny a piece - lol. we headed over to 'palacio' and met up with our new friends from nyc. 'palacio' i have to admit - is my personal hell. i had about 10 minutes of 'fun' before i was ready to head out the door - i guess i am just super-clubbed out. about 3 hours later - i think we headed out - well - nick, todd, and i did - we left darris and anthony there to 'hunt' some more.

i don't know what time the other boys got home - but it was noisy and there were 'guests' this morning when i woke up - lol - god love them (someone here is 4 for 4 - my god).

today we head back to '5th avenue' and perhaps a spa. we decided not to go to uraguay as we'll be heading to iguazu falls tomorrow and we have so much more in buenos aires we want to take in.

more later - off to shower.
