Argentina round 2

Aug 21st:
Today we woke up and ate an Argentinian breakfast of dulce de leche and bread with yogurt, cereal and coffee before our tour today. We are taking a tour of tigre, a city about 25min north of buenos aires, but first we had to wait, because everything is at least an half and hour to an hour, so we waited... which wasn't surprising to me, but bryant coming from u.s. was annoyed. So we got in the bus and sat by a very lively bunch of Brazilians (oh we were the only native English speakers on the tour) who yelled our guides name (mariela) a little to much to her liking. The river was brown but they had a lot of cool run down boats that were clearly no longer in service, but it was a nice ride and the weather was nice.
We came back into the city and went to a huge mall in the middle of downtown and its size is totally hidden by the surrounding buildings. We ate bomb Chinese food, surprising for the fact that we were in Argentina, and as we were eating we thought to each other (out loud of course, we cant read minds) that we are going to learn Portuguese here, because buenos aires have A LOT of Brazilians, which is still an understatement. We preceded to leave and go back to hostel...but we didn't, and heard tango music so we followed and saw a really cool tango show in the street, weird but i still believe that everyone in the show was related somehow, whatever. We eventually went back to the hostel and made some plans for the week and then ate some pasta at a local restaurant .
