dancing in the rain

Well this weekend the team decided to divide up and go see things that we wanted to see (especially since our time here is limited and there is not enough time to see it all). So on Friday, Sean and I set out (in the rain) to go to the Malba ( a privately owned art gallery). It had some very cool photos! On the way, we stopped and visited Tiffany's (the jewelry store, that is always raved about). The lady was so nice, she tried to sell us a Tag watch, but it was a little out of our price range, about $1200 out...:), then we went to the Macstation. It was very cool, I can saw I have been to the only Mac store in South America. We didn't buy anything, since it is more expensive than we can get it at home. Then we went to the Abasta mall, where we enjoyed a little taste from home (well not exactly but the closest so far) at Burger King. After dinner, we decided to go see a movie and just relax from walking blocks after blocks after blocks, which is what you have to do here to see the city.
We caught the last subway home by the skin of our teeth. But the day was lots of fun! Not too stressful, which is exactly what I needed.
On Saturday, we set out again but this time no rain. It was a very nice day. We went to the Teatro Colon for a tour. It was awesome. I would love to go see a performance there, but it appears that is out of the question since the staff is on strike. So we continued on our way, to the art galleries that we have been trying to buy art from and they were closed once again. This is where the walking and the not being able to talk in Spanish are a problem. You walk all that way and then they are closed, they have like garage doors over the regular doors so you can't see the time and then you can't call them if you can't speak Spanish, but we have decided we are going to go early one Friday and make sure we catch them when they are open. But we weren't in a hurry to see decided to continue walking to the other side and see some of the other art galleries were told about, but guess what? they were closed too. Saturday is not a happening day like it is at home, so we are just going to have to work something out to come earlier. We continue to walk some more to the look for the Galleria Pacifico, we weren't sure where it is so we just started walking in the general direction of where we thought it might be and we were successful. It was the ritzy part of town, with the name brands and fancy restaurants. But the oddest or coolest which ever way you want to look at it, there was an art gallery on the top floor. It was neat.
So it was about time to start heading in the direction of home. We walked the streets and saw a tango show and some other actors. It was pretty cool that they do that in the streets and it was fun to watch.
On Saturdays, they have youth night at the church, so we stopped by to visit for a little while and to find something to eat. The youth were playing futbol, so we decided to order (actually Ally ordered it for us) Pepperoni Pizza (which is very rare here) and watch Ole Miss vs. Oklahoma baseball on the internet! It was awesome! (although I dreamed of being at the game) We won! and it made a great end to a fun weekend. Back to work on Sunday! (this will be a long week because we have FriendsCamp this weekend)
