Hello all, and welcome to Cambria’s daily update for all your Buenos Aires knowledge needs… with that said, sadly enough I had quite a lazy day. I woke up around noon, and finished the Agatha Christie book I had been reading. I had lunch that was my dinner from the night before and then had the use of the internet for most of the day. I worked on my updates and what not. I really don’t know how I managed to waste those few hours, but I did a great job of it. =)
After awhile, I just felt icky for sitting so long, so I went to walk around, just for something to do. I ended up going back to the Recoleta feria (market). I really enjoy this market for some reason. Maybe it’s because it’s so close to where I live? (About five blocks)… I don’t know, but I enjoy it. And today, there were even more vendors than I remember there being the last two times I went. I was able to buy my other mate which I am excited about! Now I just have to actually buy the yerba mate (the grass!) and cure my mate cup… but I might wait til I get back home to mess with it. I don’t like it as much as other people in the program (like Thomas) who bring their mate to class and drink it. But if it’s offered, I take some for the caffeine hit!
I also bought a few other trinkets and things. I think I’ve finally decided on what I am getting for the rest of my family. To those of you who I don’t get souvenirs for…I apologize, but my brain isn’t doing so well with holding all of the information on who’s supposed to get what, lol. But if there are any particular requests, let me know and I can pick something up for you! (No Argentine ski puppies, Josh).
After my shopping and walking, I went back home where I enjoyed a snack of bread and dulce de leche. If I haven’t explained what dulce de leche is yet, I apologize. I can’t remember and am not willing to go look at the fifty or so pages I’ve already typed to check. But the easiest way to describe it is caramelized milk…but much better than it sounds! It spreads like peanut butter and although a lot of people think it’s a lot like caramel, I think it’s different. It’s not as sticky and the taste is different. It just has the same color. It’s delicious! I’m debating on how many jars to buy to bring home…how ever many I can fit in my suitcase! =)
Since Bridget and I were planning another night out, I decided to take a nap. Now, I realize,
And then, Bridget met me at my house around midnight and we headed to San Telmo to meet a few people Bridget had met a few nights ago…and we were off to a boliche!
I would type more about the evening, but seeing as how it is past midnight, I’m going to add it to tomorrow’s blog! =)
Love you all and will definitely write more soon!
