I can't quite figure out how to correctly regulate the shower temperature, I required a lesson from the cleaning lady on how to properly flush the toilet (it is tricky in Buenos Aires), and I can't count the number of times I have washed my feet. The people here act as if sleep is an option - one they do not take seriously (there have been numerous times we have gone to breakfast and ran into people just getting home from the bar). People go to the bars after 2 am and they do not close until 6 or 7am. We left at 4:00 am last week and people have been asking what was wrong with us ever since. It is all a bit of a shock.
I love this city more everyday, which just confirms that you shouldn't judge places three hours after you arrive in them. Everyday we are discovering new neighbourhoods and parts of the city we didn't know existed. Today we went for a run in the ecological reserve,and saw much more wildlife than we would ever see in Shubie Park. We saw these weird rodent things that look kinda like a squirrell, but they have no tails (like a guinea pig?), some kind of small lizard, and then...wait for it, a CROCODILE!!! No jokes, it was quite small, but it was definitely a crocodile (or an alligator, I can never remember which is which). After our run we did yoga/strength stuff in this nice little park with benches and some kind of track.We are definitely loving life here. Spanish school has started, and really, things could not be better!
Sending warm vibes your way, Canada.
Love love love,
Melissa
