Hmm...I should really start writing these sooner. I keep waiting a day or two and what I wanted to write about gets fuzzy. Yesterday (wednesday) was a fun day, again. Woke up around ten thirty which seems to be about the normal time everyone else gets up at the hostel. Logan and I and are friend Gill, who is from Isreal, went downtown to a place charollete researched for us. We went thinking we would find a local central market with tango dancers and small unique shops...unfortunately, it turned out to be a really big mall no different from one in portland except that you couldn´t understand people. Kind of disappointing. Downtown and the walk was great though, it was just non stop clothing store after clothing store all over the place. its absolutely amazing, i´ve never seen so many stores. We´ve been in three different downtown sections and they are all filled with malls and shops, but somehow all different...I´m sure this is what Kate Chausee and Sarah Lilly imagine heaven to be like.
After the shopping mall we decided to go to Florida Street., which is a long, pedestrain only, shopping street. I loved it. There was again hundreds and hundreds of clothing stores, coffee shops, etc., but it was everything else that made it so great. The street is jammed packed with people, street performers, and beautiful buildings. Watching the performers and all the different people was great, and watching the people interacting with the aggresive traffic of intersecting streets was at times even more entertaining as at times a couple would come within inches of being hit by a speeding taxi.
At night at the hostel it was tango night, where a instructor came in and gave free lessons. About 8 of us did it while everyone else sat around watching and laughing. I was suprised Logan didn´t do it, but he said its not the same without charolette (how sweet). I had a lot of fun though, it was a new experience, one I wasn´t particulary great at but wasn´t the worst either.
Well thats all for yesterday. Bought an adapter for my camera, will upload pictures soon.
sorry if spelling isn´t great or lack of spaces, i blame the keyboard.
Okay, the website I went to online definitely said it was a fruit and vegetable market, not a mega mall. bummer.
