Buenos Aires is the bee´s knees so far. I almost died walking from the bus station to my hostel, apparently wearing jeans and lugging 40 pounds worth of gear half-way across the city can cause heat stroke. Hostel Estoril is where I am staying, which is in the center of the city, a short block from the Obilisque and Congresso. The hostel has a 6th floor terrace and bar which makes it easy to meet people and have a good time. Last night there were probably 15 of us drinking some Quilmes and only 2 of us were American. The biggest difference from the states is the daily schedule. Today I at lunch at 4:30, and last night I finished my dinner at 1 am. A lot of bars don´t really get going until 2am and no restaurants open before 8 for dinner. Argentinian steak is amazing and if I don´t walk 5 miles a day I will comeback looking like Violet Beureguard from Willy Wonka.
Today I went with one of my roommates and explored the Palermo and Recoleta barrios. Palermo had a some nice parks and a cheap zoo ($8 pesos). Recoleta is a very affluent neighborhood with good restaurants and bars. We stopped by the Museo Nacional de Balles Artes, and saw a lot of famous artworks.
I hope everyone is doing well, happy hour is starting, so I gotta go
