Eve visited for Halloween/Election weekend- it is easy to say that is was one of the best weekend in Buenos Aires and in my life so far. We had so much fun - we did everything. She made me appreciate this city in a whole new way. I found myself getting so comfortable living here, that I forgot to appreciate that I am still a bit of a tourist. I need to take advantage of the short time I have left here, and Eve showed me how to do that. She is a great traveler and I was a good tourist (she told me so!). Friday when Eve arrived we stuck to walking around my neighborhood, Recoleta. We toured and shopped and walked and caught up. We also napped. We went to dinner at Cumuná, a restaurant here Eve could get some local food and great meat. After, we got ready at my house for Halloween! We were the Spice Girls. We had a fun photoshoot and then went to a party. It was kind of a bust - we ended up coming home early, which was a good thing since we had a big weekend in store for us!
The next day we woke up and went to La Boca, which was my first time there- its a barrio in the Southern part of the city and is home to the touristy "El Caminito" and other buildings. The buildings are painted all different colors. After a FULL day of chatting and sitting in the sun, we headed back to my house for a nap and then to get ready for Emily's 20th birthday dinner. After that, we met up with my host brother Juan and his friends to go to MINT in Costanera. We had an incredible night or dancing and singing and general amazingness. We called it a night after a 7 am McDonald's run, of course.
The next day we went back to Boca for an all-day asado and fútbol fun at Gonzalo's, my host mom's oldest son's house. It was so much fun - except Eve and I lost badly to Juan and Pedro in our two on two soccer match. We stayed in that night and ate dinner at home.
The next day we went shopping in Palermo Soho, met Molly & Liam and Mark's Deli for iced coffe, etc etc. We bought out Maria Cher and loved every minute of it. This was Eve's last day and Election Day, so we were packing up, running around, etc.
