First Day in Argentina! (Sunday, August 8th)



Actually, this is Saturday August 7th before we boarded the plane. Whitlei was over there dealing with her phone drama. What is Gabby doing? Cheese for the rest of us: Michael, (Michaela (Me), and Carrie Ann.


So, I got to sit next to Jen on the plane, and little did we know this was the beginning of a beautiful relationship full of sharing and caring.

 Clearly, this was a long flight.
 At last we arrived.

My roommate and my straight girlfriend! We shared meals and stuff! The 2 chicas closest to me on this trip. They aren't as innocent as they look, lol.

 So this is everybody on the trip:
Carolina, Whitlei, "Frat" Matt (Not a frat boy though), Veronica, Donny, Julianna, Jen, George, Jose, Gabriella (Gabby), Michael, (Cordelle) Carrie Ann, Michaela (me), and Raul

It was foggy outside when we arrived. Remember, this was winter, so ugh. This is a picture of the airport.  


 Our guide for Argentina, Diego.


 Then on to lunch then the walking tour of Buenos Aires.

There are a lot of pics form this tour. I will post them somewhere, but not here. Ok, Maybe a brief preview.





Then my camera broke, and things got blurry. I spent almost $200 getting a new camera the next day and begged others to take pictures for me. Those pics are not currently at my disposal.

After the walking tour, I went "shopping" on the way to the antique fair we didn't make it to. I bought a perfect piece of jewelry for me and a gift for my dad. 

When we returned around dark, my roommate who was ill when we arrived, and I went out to dinner. Compared to the meal I had earlier, the meal was awful,. Actually, compared to all of the meals I had in Argentine, the meal we had was a joke. I will not be returning to that restaurant.

When we left to pick up somethings and do some minor exploring,  we learned that men cat call almost the same in Argentina and America. (The language is the same at least.)
