It´s been a crazy awesome past few days in Buenos Aires...
On Friday night, we went to a club downtown called La France. If you´re not familiar with the nightlife here, you should know a couple of things: 1) people usually don´t even start getting ready to go out until 1:30 or 2:00 and 2) they oftentimes don´t leave home for the club until 3. We went out around 2:30 and danced to reggaeton until 6:30 AM(!) then cabbed it back to the hostel and passed out. The club was still packed when we left. It´s a common thing for people to stay out until 8 and then go for breakfast. How do they do it?
Yesterday we ran into Andy Levinson, a guy we know from Atlanta, at a random shop in downtown Buenos Aires. He had been studying here for the past several months and was leaving town today. Over the course of this trip, we have encountered a few people with whom we have friends in common, but never someone we personally knew. This encounter was literally a small world story.
Today, we spent the entire day with one of Matt´s dad´s clients, Señor Hernan Tomasini. He picked us up from our hostel and then took us on an amazing tour of B.A. and the surrounding suburbs. We met his two older children (a son of 16 and a daughter of 19) and his youngest son, who is 4. He was one of the cutest kids we´ve ever seen. We´ll post a pic of him soon. After a delicious lunch (consisting, of course, of beef), he took us out on his boat. It was sweet. We´ll try and post the pics and vids from the trip in the next couple of days.
Tonight there is a samba band playing at the hostel, and then there is going to be karaoke. We miss you all and hope you are well. Hasta mañana.
