Today and yesterday were a little more chill and relaxing days with a little sightseeing followed by hanging out at the hostel and chilling.
Yesterday (thursday I think) we went to caminito. This is a famous painted street in a rougher area. Kinda just a big tourist trap. There were the painted houses which were nice and tango dancers and food. It also had a lot of people looking for tourists and trying to sell them stuff and being kind of obnoxious, for some reason they always went to logan and not me...they can recognize a pushover when they see one. Overall not as exciting as i had hoped but still neat.
After this we tried to take the bus back to the hostel, with the bus being just as packed as the subways except with no signs on where to get off. We managed to somehow get off the bus somewhat near our hostel though, but as we were trying to find our way back it started just pouring rain. By the time we found the hostel we were soaking wet. The rest of the day was spent inside at the hostel, until dinner.
Dinner was amazing. We went to el desnivel, and had some of the best steaks ever. I ended up with a grilled tenderloin with mushroom sauce and potatoes for 52 pesos (roughly $13), and then washed it down with a half bottle of the house wine for 12 pesos. I normally am not oe to buy a half bottle of wine for myself, but I wasn´t paying attention to the menu and thought it was a half glass.
Today we went to the ecological reserve with our friend Gill. It was like a giant wetland right outside of the city. I think it is roughly 4.5 miles around and filled with multiple trails where the locals go running...it would give Pre´s trail a good run for its money. On our way back we stopped on the street that borders the reserve and got some food. I ordered a hamburger for 7 pesos ($1.75) and at first was fairly disappointed when I saw it. However, after putting on all the various condiments, many of which I hadn´t seen before, it turned into one of the best burgers I´ve had in a long time...I probably could have had two more.
Welp, don´t know what else to say...
