El Superanticlimaticlassico

Today was the much anticipated El Súperclasico between La Boca and River Plate. I wore my new Boca T-Shirt! Me & some other amigos gathered at a bar in Palermo and I caught the second half. It was a cool bar, good atmosphere for the game. People were really excited when Boca scored the first goal. And 1 person was excited when River tied it. So, then it ended. In a tie. Just like that. I must have asked 5 people "is that it?!" No tie breaker? No winner? No singing and chanting and gloating? Pft! Kinda anticlimatic eh? So then afterward we walked around the little plaza selling cute things, and walked by lots of stores selling cute things, then found a pretty little rooftop restaurant. I'll be back, Palermo. I'll be back.

Speaking of rooftops, I need to make friends with my neighbors. They had a rooftop bbq party for the game and I wish I was invited. They were listening to oldies and blues not too long ago and are now jamming Bob Marley. Must. Make. Amigos.


PS. In the video, I love the pissy River Plate fan reactions at the end.
