Second day in Buenos Aires

Needed a good night's sleep after the last few weeks of a frantic lifestyle. So I slept. Woke up at noon and went out for a walk downtown which led me to a fantastic sandwich. Bought some skiing socks and a scarf and came back to the hostel to read and waited for my friend Bugé to arrive from Brazil. Played pool with him, met up with Leo, went out to eat meat and drink the best bottle of wine 5 dollars can buy (and it was damn good), and came back to the hostel to watch Brazil barely beat Uruguay in penalty kicks.
Went to dance to beat of crazy drum n' bass.
Night ending at 5.15 a.m.
Gonna be up at 11 to go to Casa Rosada and Boca.

Otra receta perfecta!

Beba una cerveza,

Vaya a un lugar que toque drum n' bass,

Beba otra cerveza,

un vodka con Red Bull,

otro vodka con Red Bull,

Fume un churro,

Relájese, relájese, disfrute de la música y baile hasta acabarse.

No necesita beber más, después de eso sólo agua.

Snow in Buenos Aires!

Some people say it was in 1918, some 1928, but the fact is it hadn't snowed for a long long while in Buenos Aires. Finally did today, just as my plane landed. Great luck, really, as lots of flights were canceled afterwards.

Got here, showered, and headed out to Café Tortoni (pictures later) Buenos Aires' most typical cafe. As I waited for my table I met Sebastián, and no longer had to ask for a table for one. In there we met with his friend Clara, and later Christian arrived. They turned out to be Buenos Aires' sons of rich people who devote their lifes to art and hedonism. Interesting crowd, old school "burgueses" who enjoy throwing in a lot of French words in their speech. It was really funny having them write down things I said, for them to remember, as they found me "memorable". Our afternoon ended in Christian's attelier in a beautiful building in Avenida de Mayo, drinking wine and watching the snow fall.

Back to the hostel for a nap as I barely slept on the plane after partying until sunup in Sao Paulo. Party at the hostel afterwards, and now I'm ready for bed. Off to start seeing Buenos Aires tomorrow.
