Another Country Checked Off the List

I just got back in town from a fabulous trip to
Buenos Aires,Argentina

this city is so much Like NYC sometimes I would forget I was even in Argentina

everything look like that city from the buildings to the way people were hustling along

I love it there

when I was trying to decide where I was going to study abroad it was between Chile and there

I ws such a hard decision choosing but obviously i chose Chile (right choice for me)

I think I would have loved living there since it was so much like NYC

but Vina is just a totally chill beach town so its just a amazing!

this trip was a fun trip full of SHOPPING

that is seriously all there is to do there that we saw.

So for 4 days straight we shopped till we dropped 

we went to the mall everyday

we shopped at the street markets

and we went in a billion little street boutiques 

the whole beachy style or like hippie style is really popular there

I really don't know how to describe it

lots of lace which I loved

and lots of white and browns

and of course leather since that's like a staple in Argentina

I ended up getting myself a leather purse since I ended up not  paying the 140 dollar entrance fee

(which I was so totally stoked about)

We did shop a lot but..

we did manage to take a little tour bus around the city 

our first day there was really nasty so we hopped on the double decker tour bus and road around for like 3 hours that day.

we saw all the major things there 

basically little statues everywhere and some museums

 we also planned on going to Uruguray but the boat ride there was 90 dollars we just could spend that much on such a short little boat ride!

and of course we ate

and we ate good!!

Argentina is know for their good and cheap steaks

and boy were they good!!

we ended up eating in the mall food court a lot because ti was the only place where we could all find something we like 

there food courts are a lot different than the States

they don't really have fast food restaurants 

its more like site down restaurant food that you just take to go

they had steak restaurants that they cooked fresh steaks on a charcoal grill right in front of you 

and they were so so so good and so so so cheap 

I got a big steak, fry's and a coke for about 8 American dollars

good deal if I say so myself!!

but I think the highlight of the weekend was the Hard Rock Cafe

Tawni and I have seriously been talking about that place for the past month and a half

we've been counting down the days till we got to eat the yummy potato skins and nachos!!

side note:

our plane ride into Buenos Aires was probably the scariest plane ride I have ever been on

the turbulence was so bad

 the plane dropped for a few seconds 

all I could think was that we were about to crash 

and then the engines started making noises I'e never heard before 

I just sat in the chair and prayed for the whole 20 minutes that the plane was trashing around

I don't know if I have ever been that scared in my life

my nerves were shot by the time that plane landed!!


here are some pictures from the trip
I didn't take a whole lot for some reason 
probably to distracted by all the shopping

and last little video of us dancing the Tango
we were pretty good if i must say so myself
for just learning off a little thing on the sidewalk

besides the plane ride we had such a fantastic trip 

I was really relaxing compared to Peru 

We slept in

and pretty much didn't worry about doing something every minute of the day!!
