Dia seis in Buenos Aires...

Buenos tardes a todos! I've been in BA for six days now, and the heat is really starting to overwhelm us! It is in the 90s everyday here, and the humidity is very high. Argentina is close to the equator, too, very hot! I've learned a few lessons about eating here, my friend Zaria and I have both gotten sick from different foods. They use less preservatives in the food, which is good, but means you have to eat it when you buy it.

A bit of craziness has ensued with the nightlife here. I broke a shoe the other night (a sandal, right in half!!) and some of the men here have turned into pajeros (that's spanish for creeps!). We have made a few friends though, and in Cordoba we'll be settled in more than we are here in BA.

The tourist sights are impressive! Today we saw 'Casa Rosa' which is the equivelant of our White House, but pink. The significance of the color was the blending of the two political parties colors, red and white, to mean unity. We also went to the national cathedral, a huge and very intricately designed church. More tourist stuff tomorrow! Chau!
