Buenos días amigos!

Hi there!
I will be in Buenos Aires for two months, living in Palermo Viejo! I have already started compiling notes, pictures and other memories from my adventures here and will be sure to keep you posted. Enjoy!


XOXO,
Sam

Argentina Wins and a little more Tango!







Hola Chicos,

Yesterday I went to San Martin Plaza to watch the live telecast of the World Cup game featuring Argentina versus Greece. It was absolutely insane: smoke, firecrackers, drinks, etc. But I have to admit, the Argentines love their country and it's something that I admire. When Palermo scored (I guess he's big in La Boca, a big barrio in Buenos Aires), the crowd went WILD! They chant, they scream, they cuss, you name it? They do it! I've tried to add pictures and video of that, hopefully it turns out.

Last night I went back to La Catedral for Tango round 2. I didn't dance, but watched my friends and other Argentines take on the "8 easy steps". The atmosphere was great, and the space got really crowded towards 11:30 when the free-dancing started. It was real, authentic, and super underground (how cool!). I've posted some pictures of the cathedral (they don't allow cameras inside, so I had to turn off the flash and improvise!).

Ciao,
Sam
