For my non-spanish speakers...hello, my people! For all of you who said that I might not return to the United States--you were right. I have discovered an amazing place with such a diverse culture and very cool people that I think that the only way you guys are ever going to see my face is if you visit me here. And I promise you won't regret it. The city of Buenos Aires is just the beginning. I have only been here for three days and have already discovered some pretty cool places only a few cuadras from where I live/work.
Just so you know what I am doing here, in case I haven't told you, I am currently doing an internship for the South American Explorers clubhouse, which is a travelers' resource center located in the heart of San Telmo, BA. I will be doing a few PR and marketing projects during my fews months here and interacting with local businesses trying to promote SAE and recruit new members.
Now we get to the cool stuff (with pictures!). Buenos Aires is a very large city composed of various barrios, each unique in their own way. Yesterday I made new friends--Sarah and Nate--at the clubhouse and we walked around Puerto Madero after I got off of work. Nate is from Montgomery, Alabama and an Auburn fan. Can we say War Eagle in espanol? Anywho, Puerto Madero is the wealthy part of town filled with gorgeous parks, highrise buildings, a tgi fridays and hooters.
The diques are water reservoires from the river that separate Puerto Madero from Buenos Aires. You can go canoeing in them if you like!
This is probably one of the nicest Hooters I have ever seen...the uniforms are still the same, however. :)La Casa Rosada (The Pink House) is where the President's offices are, where Evita Peron spoke to the people, and where Madonna--who is back in town this weekend--turned Evita into a musical.
And this is just the beginning! The lifestyle here of cafes, siestas, and fiestas will take some adjusting, but I think I'll be able to handle it.
