Andando por Buenos Aires, Argentina

buenos días buenas tardes buenas noches de la ciudad de BA, where professional dog walkers stroll through parks trailing a dozen leashes and wagging tails, the old and young alike sit on benches sipping their mate from morning till night, and all of the lingo and slang i picked up in ecuador in an attempt to socialize like a local sounds foriegn and silly.

i'm entering my third day here in a city that never sleeps, and have yet to scratch the surface of the countless barrios, lugares, cultura that there is to discover here in the capital of argentina. my friend´s apartment (who´s couch is where i currently reside) has a balcony that overlooks a small fruit stand and the buses, motorcycles, and pedestrians that make their way up and down our cobblestone street. i have already both lost and found myself with great success on the subway to the city center and back, and i find myself saying che with greater frequency as the days roll on.
