So I woke up to rain, which was very sad. I wanted to go out and see things since I only have three weeks left but the rain hindered these plans. Chelsey and I decided to get food. We ate at a delicious vegetarian restaurant near our residence. We walked around and got cupcakes. I had a red velvet one and a standard one. They were delicious. After, we went into a store. I bought a shirt. We then headed home. I tried to upload photos but it is taking forever because of the internet speed.
I hung out with people. I ate random food leftovers from friends, including an Ecuadorian dish and some nachos. I chilled with friends for a bit. Then I got showered and changed. I went and met up with my NYU friends. We then headed to a club. It was a really fun night

I woke up. I showered and got dressed. Chelsey and I headed out. We went to La Boca to take photos. That is the neighborhood with the various colored buildings. We took photo and looked around. I had a delicious choripan for lunch. After, we headed to the bookstore that I went to earlier in the semester. I took photos and bought Chronicle of a Death Foretold but in Spanish to practice. I am excited. We headed home, where I have been eating food, and hanging with friends and trying to upload photos.

Beautiful Bookstores and Tattoos...
3-30-10
Due to a class being pushed back a week and half, I could sleep in. I did and then I relaxed for most of the morning. I caught up on stuff and uploaded photos to Facebook of people and tried to continue uploading pictures to my Flickr. It is taking a long time due to the mass amount and the internet connection. I grabbed lunch and talked to people. After lunch, I chilled more before walking around for a bit. Back at home, I caught up on some shows and did my Spanish homework.
I then headed to a bookstore called El Ateneo here that is the largest in South America, with people from my group. It used to be a theater that got turned into a bookstore. I didn't take any photos this time, but I plan to next time I go. It was really cool. Saw a lot of possible reads despite the language barrier. I even saw a copy of Harry Potter put in the bindings upside down. From there, Nahuel, the leader for the day's excursion should us a place called Bond Street that was full of Tattoo parlors, skate shops and places of the sort. It was quite interesting. Then we moved onto a pizza place. There we ate a couple types of pizza. We then moved onto other places around the city. This is why I love CEA. They take us to all these places that many people don't necessarily see on their tours of the city. We went to a place that has a lot of cool places to eat and see live shows. I plan to hit up that area sometime. Then we reached an ice cream place and delicious ice cream. Then we headed home. Good day.
Tomorrow: Relax, Class at 1, Doctor's Appointment at 4, No se que mas.
