Argentina Here We Come

On Tuesday we had a normal day of classes. I stayed home because I felt a cold starting to form and spent the day resting and packing for a 3 day trip to Buenos Aries! As a group we decided to go to celebrate two birthdays, one on the 17 and one on the 18. We took a bus from Chillan to Santiago at 2:00am. Arriving in Santiago at 7am, we made our way to the airport for a 12:55 flight. We all ended up sleeping during the bus ride and 1 hour flight, and arrived in Buenos Aries around 2:00.



We drove to our AirBnb, and soon after arriving we were out on the streets exploring the city. BA is absolutely beautiful. The city holds a lot of European influence and the achrutecher reflects the colonization that happened hundreds of years ago. All of the stories fronts held apartments above. The people were all very unique, and the vibe of the city is just a relaxing feeling. Some cities that I have gone to like Seattle or New York I have often felt overwhelmed and exhausted, but BA gave me a different feeling. There are lots of parks and open spaces in the downtown areas. This city has a lot of personality.
In our first afternoon we discovered a funky tattoo and piercing alleyway, with lots of funky gothic and metal shops. Soon we went home to share a few drinks and celebrate one of the boys birthday and the clock struck midnight.
