Thursday night we went out to a reggae bar that I found once when I was walking called Instinto. It was chill and they made nice mixed drinks. From there we moved to a club called Niceto that was SUPPOSED to have a reggae show, but instead they had b-boys (break-dancers) for a while. They then shifted, quite quickly I might add, to a veeeery pornographic show. We tried to stay for a minute and enjoy the party with the locals, but it was far too disgusting for our liking, so we turned to leave. On our way out we ran into a group of Chassidim enjoy the show very much! I thought it was hilarious and pretty awkward. We went to the bar across the street for a bit because they had a gorgeous rooftop terrace thingy.
The next day I woke up and went to the Botanic Gardens to lay out for a bit, and finally caught a bit of a tan! It faded though, and now I have none...
Friday night everybody else went out, but there were a bunch of miscommunications flying around and I ended up staying in and watching Batman Begins....pretty great flick, even though it makes no sense.
Saturday morning J and I woke up and made our way to the Recoleta market. It is a booming market that lines the streets around the infamous cemetery, and it was filled with artists, jewelers, and other vendors. It was literally the Argentinean take on the shuk. Awesome!
Then Saturday night we went to a party-concert-thingy thrown by the group called Fiesta Clandestina. They throw some of the greatest parties in BA! We went there because the percussion group La Bomba del Tiempo were there and I love them. They played a set over 2 hours long and had 3 guests, including a DJ! It was awesome and I danced my petunias off!
Tonight I am going to see Manu Chao perform at the Luna Park. I'll let you know how it goes!
I love you all,
M
