BA!! YAY!!
Finaly today, we begn to see some of the splendor we had hear about in BsAs.
I think we walked around the whole of BsAs three times over
During our stroll, we stopped at the Buenos Aires zoo - It was a bit different than other zoos I had been to, in that there were a few harmless animals free ranging around.
Oh what fun the zoo was!!!! We saw kangaroo-wallaby-rabbit things running free, Peacocks walking around with their feathers out and about, parrots who said "OLA!" in response to Gregg's "OLA!" (The Parrot didn't however, respond to "Hello"), and a Pygmy Marmoset mini monkey playing with himself for all to see. Fun!
After the zoo and tons more walking, we went on a bike tour around Recoleta and the Gardens in Palermo which informatively took us through Recoleta, near the University and through the Palermo Rose Gardens. The Recoleta Cemetery was astonishing - it was the grandest richest village of the dead I have ever seen. It is also the final resting place of the famed Eva Peron.
Diego, our guide was super knowledgeable about Argentinian history and politics - it was a really great tour. We really had the time to ask the questions we wanted, as we were the only people on the tour.
Today we really began to see the enchanting side of Buenos Aires. The old architecture of Recoleta, the green area in Palermo, the history....We were exhausted from walking and biking all day, but had our first day of feeling fulfilled after tourism.
The only downfall of the day was finding good food to eat. I literally ate bread for every single meal today. We realized were are spending a ton of money on food, but have only had one noteworthy meal thus far. Instead of a restaurant, we went to a mini market to find dinner. There wasn't all too much that fell into both the healthy, and the vegetarian cateory. For about 6 dollars, we got 4 baguettes, butter, chocolate wafers, a bottle of wine and a litre of beer. And that was dinner!
Well, I guess there was actually two downfalls - at the end fo the night when Gregg was moving around our tiny bathroom, he knocked my toiletry bag into a toilet with pee in it (G. Pee). This included, of course, my toothbrush, my makeup, my shampoo..among other things. Gross, huh! G felt really bad about it tho.....
I am finding that I am sleeping well, and waking refreshed. It is nice to finally have a vacation. Sleeping with earplugs in has been a dream! Did I just jinx myself?!
I am super excited to see the open markets this weekend!

The mysterious animal kind of looks like a kangaroo, so maybe it's a type of marsupial. Did you check to see if it had two vaginas? Or an Australian accent?
I believe that "fuera" is an imperative construction from fuera meaning outside. so: "get out!"
um, and what's leora going on about australians having 2 vaginas??
