Well, it´s been a while since we updated yáll.
We arrived in Buenos Aries to meet the girls at our hostel. After a heavy night of partying we decided that it was time to see at least one sight! We went to the Recoletta, a huge cemetary in BA. The mausoleums here are like houses! Some old, some new, gothic to modern, all with coffins and caskets readily visible! It was quite something. Here we saw Evita´s grave, along with hundreds of other people at the same time and headed out to get some food and soothe our hangovers before the girls last night.
We managed to meet up with Jackson, a friend who was on our Galapagos tour with us, and went out to spend our last night out till 6am. Upon awakening, alone and disoriented, Jen and I decide to sort our shit out and get some stuff done! Internetting and phone calls were required, along with recovering and planning out the next couple days.
We spent the next day as real travellers. We loved having the girls in town, such a good taste of home, but despite the sadness of them leaving we felt like travellers once more and our livers were certainly happy! We hopped on the subway and explored more of the city. BA is a beautiful city, reminisent of many European capitals, with the culture, architecture and people. We wandered around the sites, The Cathedral, the Palace that Madonna was seen crooning out of several years ago and much more.
We finished our night by going to a Tango show, one of the things that BA is famous for and is not to be missed. It was a lot of fun. The house singer was as cheesy as you would expect, the tango as flamboyant and spectacular and the male lead as greasy! We had a wonderful night with great wine and better entertainment.
