necesitamos una farmacia por favor





Mark caught a cold, so he's napping atm. My allergies are acting up- it is spring down here, afterall. Otherwise, everything has been fantastic! Yesterday we meandered through La Boca, stopping to see the Boca Juniors futbol stadium, and of course, the caminito. As we made our way back, we noticed that the streets were eerily quiet, and that most of the restaurants and stores were closed. I guess when there is a soccer game on, the whole city pauses to watch. I wish it was like this in the US!

Last night we went to a pub about a block from our apartment, called Gibraltar. Apparently it is a popular bar for expats and locals who like to hang out with expats. Things don't really get going around here until 11pm and even later, so by the time we made it to the next bar it was 1am or so. There was a live band that played the Blues. How weird it was to hear Blues in Buenos Aires. They were good though.
