THURSDAY 02/25/10
Met up with a Colombian, Fer, from Couchsurfing in the afternoon to go take pictures around town. He was a great guy – an architect who’s going back to school for urban planning. We walked around while he pointed out some of the architecture – some of which is quite hideous from the 1960s and 70s – large concrete blocks. The Biblioteca Nacional, for example.
But there are others that are completely gothic and ornate, like the Engineering building of the UBA.
On the walk, I saw the first person, with a plastic bag in hand, pick up its dog’s poop!! Qué milagro!
Later that night, we had a going away party for Marine, one of the French girls from Vanessa’s rugby team, who was returning to France. We went to a great bohemian bar in my neighborhood, Acabar, where we played Sexyonary (Pictionary with Spanish sex words)!
I also met some Mexican friends of hers that are from Culiacan and Guadalajara – it was so great to speak Mexican with them! J I miss the other accents once in a while. As the bar closed at 1:00 am, we decided to go to Jackie O’s in Las Cañitas. It’s a 3 story club with pool tables and a lounge on the top level. Vanessa pointed out the typical “cheta” (or “fresa” in Mexican) – upper class, generally snotty girls – they just have a way of carrying themselves.
