Baires

This weekend was a relatively calm one for me here in Buenos Aires. We went to Shoeless Joe's Alamo a couple of nights to watch basketball games. It is this very touristy pub that serves free beer to girls until 11, and it is one of very few places in town that shows American sports. Great burgers and cheap drinks! My sources tell me that the Bulls just went into second overtime. Let's go Bulls!

Friday J and I went walking around town and we went to Galería Bond Street. It is this small shopping gallery (mall-like thing) where all of the young punk kids go. It was like nothing I have ever seen before. You can hear tattoo needles going the entire time you are there, and every other shop is a tattoo parlor. Really interesting sight!

Then today I went to lunch with cousin Patricia. We met at her father's hotel, the Meliá, and had an excellent and long lunch. Then we strolled for a bit, just chatting and wandering around town. On our stroll I got to see the memorial of the Israeli Embassy that was bombed. It was really sad, as one would expect, but interesting to see.

Now I am just delaying homework time! Booo homework!

I hope all is well!

I'll keep ya posted!
