In the City

So I got this post and the last one backwards...oh well. This is the view from my hostel room: I quite literally set down my bags, and then headed out in BUENOS AIRES!!!!!

Of course, I got pretty hungry pretty fast, and this parrilla caught my eye. (thought of you, mom, with it being orange and all)

Wanna see what I had? Enjoy! I just wish you could smell how fantastic it was!

My appetizer:

I wasn't quite sure what I was ordering, but I am pretty sure it did not involve eggs. Especially over my fries, but that seems to be "the way we do it," so I rolled with it! (after I took the pepper off my steak. Yucky peppers, yummy steak!)

I went through the "rough part of town" or so I thought. Graffetti seems to be everywhere, and oftentimes funny.

In stark contrast, the flower shops were everywhere, making for pleasant whiffs as I rounded corners.

The city is so fun!!!!

Back in the city

While in Buenos Aires, my first day of exploring led me to this park. There was a fantastic rose garden which I took my time to (guess what!) stop and smell the roses...





There was a paved road all the way around the road, and I could just imagine how fun it would be to rent skates and roll around.
I sat and relaxed, taking in the lingering warmth, perfume of the roses, and relaxed atmosphere.


After watching couples and young children feed the ducks, we went ambling along and found these fun views:

Truth be told, my feet were killing me, and I really needed to pee. When I came around the corner and saw a gelateria, with a bathroom, well, it didn't take any convincing to stop and enjoy a sweet treat.
Ready for the rest of the walk back home!
And when I got back to the hostel, the satisfied kitty-boss was there to check me back in and wish me good night.
