After the "nap," we got up around 2pm-ish. I wasnt following the internet connection instructions in the apt... and this is where we encountered typical BsAs customer service. I called the office which was about 1 block away. They said someone would be there in an hour.... well... 2 hours later, still no one and I was getting antsy to get out & about. I finally figured out that I could piggyback off an unsecured wireless connection... so didnt worry with the apartment people any longer.
We then went for a neighborhood stroll & walked to Plaza V. Lopez (basically a bunch of kids) and then walked down Santa Fe, Arenales, Juncal & Uruguay streets/avenues. There were a lot of American style clothing shops... We didnt buy anything, but it was a lot of fun to people watch. It was very busy.
We did a lot more walking than we expected, so it was back to the apt for some foot rest. One funny thing was that we heard American Music like Snoop Dogg & the Dixie Chicks in that shopping district.
We came home & did a "we made it blog posting." I then proceeded to iron all the clothes that had been messed up in our luggage... it took over an hour... damn suitcase folds.
We were then ready for dinner & walked down to Lola's in the Recoleta area. It was really close to the Recoleta Cemetary (where Evita is buried). It was a good dinner & we had a lot of fun.
After dinner, we were still so exhausted that we couldnt handle a night out on the town... they dont get started going out until 2:30am and we couldnt handle that.
We had some Quilmes cerveza at the apartment & headed to bed.

Sounds like so much fun, Gurl. Love the pictures.
OMG ... I had forgotten "Quilmes."
I'll never forget the mauseleums in Recoleta. Maybe my imagination has embellished it, but I seem to recall cement caskets simply "idling" on these carts (biers?) ... like there wasn't enough room. Otherwise that area was so luxurious.
We did go to Recoleta Cemetary... more to come on that later... & yeah... there were a lot of caskets piled on top of each other inside those buildings.
