Buenos Aires day 2




It's again a tight schedule. We only have two full days at BA. There are so much to see and to eat! Again we had to rush. In the morning we took a centro city tour. We walked through the plazas and some historic statutes and buildings. It was hot! We had lunch at a cafe. You can't beat the elegance of Buenos Aires' famous cafes. That's my favorite thing in BA. I can spend whole week just enjoying different cafes. There are so many, so cute and so delicious! They serve coffee and crossiant as their typical breakfast, tons of yummy pastries, deli as well as entrees. They are so relaxing! Some people kill their whole day with newspaper and a cup of coffee. In the afternoon, we visited San Telmo and La Boca for more historic sightseeing, souvenir shopping and cobbled street strolling. At La Boca, I lost my travel partner Martin. When I got back to hostel, he was not back. I was very sad and realized that what made a trip interesting is not just the destination, it's about the journey which includes the company you are with. I do appreciate his companyship so much. When I walked out the hostel alone, I spotted him on the way back to hostel. That was the happiest moment in that day! Is it a common mistake that people sometimes invest a whole lot on new excitement of new people and new things yet ignoring the people who are just next to you as your friends?
That night as requested by Martin, we had a pizza dinner. At mid-night, we went out to club Niceto with a group of gals from the hostel. The party started at 12:00pm and lasted till 7:00am. Is that awesome? It was abosolutely hysterical! When I came out of the club, it was 6:00am in day light.
