Woke up on Sunday at around 1:30 (early for Argentine standards). I planned to meet the girls at the San Telmo Fair- one of the city's greatest attractions, and for good reason. The fair was packed with locals and tourists alike, but it was so great. Most of the vendors/store things were selling antiques- AMAZING jewelry, old photos, keys, door knobs, brooches, fur coats, Argentine souvenirs...everything you could imagine. It was so beautiful and if I didn't have to travel back to the US I would have bought everything. There was a big tango show going on, it was so cool. We walked and browsed for a while, until about 5:30 and then we went to have lunch at a great restaurant called Origens. It was packed, but we got a table and a 3 hour lunch. As soon as I got home, we had pizza & empanadas, a very common combination for a Sunday night I have learned. It was also delicious. Juan and Pedro had a friend, Francisco, over, who is really nice. He's covered in tattoos and if I saw him walking down the street I would be scared, but he's great. We had a fun dinner, Juan providing most of the entertainment, and then Pedro left to go on a date :) Juan, Gretchen, Francisco and I decided to play some board games- we started out with Indicios. Juan and Olivia vs. Gretchen and Fran. We dominated...I felt really bad since I needed a lot of help translating, but it was fun and I contributed pretty well. Then we moved on to Trivial Pursuit (in Spanish)...kill me? It was SO hard. Luckily we had Juan's girl-of-the-moment Greta on our team and she was really smart. She's nice, way to skinny, but fun. I approve. I know its a short post, but I wanted to make sure to write about it because it was such a fun Sunday.
I posted a new album on Facebook of my first few weeks here..Enjoy!
