| Skate rentals in the park |
We arrived in Buenos Aires at 9am, and then Mat and I said goodbye as we went our separate ways on the subte. I went back to my host family’s house and rang the doorbell, my host mom gave me some tea, and then I re-organized my suitcases so I can be ready for my flight home tomorrow. I met Carolyn at Plaza Italia where we walked to a park called 3 de febrero to find some roller blades. Along the way, I ran into my host brother and a host sister, who were working near the park, which was really weird! It’s strange how many people you end up running into who you know, even in a city as huge as Buenos Aires. Carolyn and I rented some roller blades for about an hour and skated around the park, which had been a goal of ours since the first day we were in BA. After rollerblading and walking around a rose garden, we started to walk back to Plaza Italia to grab some coffee. On the way back, we were talking around something when a guy in front of us turned around and said “I heard English.” The two guys from the US started talking to us, and we all walked back to the plaza together while talking about our travels. Carolyn and I grabbed coffee, and then said goodbye. Luckily we’ll still get to hang out back at A&M!
Tonight was my last night in Buenos Aires, so I went out with my host brother and his friends. We took a bus and met his friends at one of their houses, ate homemade pizza, and then took another bus to San Telmo to a boliche called Mod. There was a live band, and they played all old American songs, like songs from the Beatles and from The Killers. There were only Argentinians at this boliche, but every time a new song came on they all went crazy. Every single one of the guys I was with knew the words to every song that came on, even though they were all old American songs that I didn’t even know the lyrics to! I was amazed! We stayed at the boliche until about 615am, and then I sadly said goodbye to all of them and went home.
