Another marathon

    Yesterday was another super long day.  Woke up late, ate breakfast, headed out to catch a tour with the BC students.  The tour started in a super cool area like a gigantic outdoor mall.  It was a giant grid of narrow sidewalks with stores forever.  We sat for a bit waiting for the bus and discussed everybody's travel plans.  Then a coach bus took us around the city showing us all the touristy stuff like parks, monuments, important buildings, etc.  I'll attach a few pictures finally.

   We stopped at the section of the city called La Boca.  La Boca is famous for its bright colors, soccer fanaticism (Boca Juniors is like the Red Socks, really good but looked down upon because its fan base is lower class), and poverty.  The area called Caminito is sooo cool.  All of the houses are painted a million different colors, and everything, literally everything, is dedicated to the Boca Juniors.  Google image-search "caminito".

    After the tour, me a Dave came home for a quick dip in the pool with the whole family again, then dinner.  We showered and napped, and headed back out to meet up with everybody.  The tour was just with the Di Tella students (my university) so we wanted to go out with the BC kids studying at UCA.  We went back to Madagascar and sat outside at a table, then played some pool at Tazz again, then got pizza, then went home around 530am again.  Long day.

Here's some pictures from yesterday:
