Arte BA '09

This contemporary art exhibit opened in Palermo. So me, Cous B & E went to go check it out. It was actually pretty cool, had some fun interactive stuff-- like the giant pile of polyester I jumped into. So avant garde. My favorite though was the photography outside that I saw on my way out.... then I saw flamingos through the zoo fence... so I'm really not sure what my fave part was. All good.

Very Happy Hour at Club Museum

Wednesday night was super fun. We went to an "after office" party/dance club thing at Museum, in San Telmo. This is like our version of Taco Tuesdays, except people are in business suits, and are dancing in a 3 story warehouse club designed by the Eiffel Tower guy. Whose last name is actually Eiffel. The music was super fun, and so we might go back next Wednesday and get some dinner there too. I think this was also the night when the Norweigans learned the terms "fiesta de chorizo" and "mercado de carne". Buenos tiempos.

All up in Palermo's business

Yesterday I had a very cultural day... you know, just cruisin' through some museums, some gardens, having some coffee. Wow, I need a vacation from my vacation. I kid. Yesterday I was supposed to go help clean out a classroom and paint it, but by the time I was done with class, i didn't really need to go. Bonus! So, I headed out to the MALBA museum-- Museo de Arte Latino de Buenos Aires. It was aiiiight. To the left you can see an example of their art... REALLY?! Anyways, there were some other interesting pieces, but that one caught my eye the most. I don't know... the angles? the texture? Anyways, I got busted for taking pics.

From there I went to the Japanese Gardens as recomended, oh, by all the books I've read. It was again, just ok. We have these too in LA, and they're better. So I was like-- eh. Then, I went to the Evita Museum. Much better!! It was really interesting to see how she came to be so revered in the public eye (well, by most, not all). I can't believe she died at 33. Most of my friends are now in their 30s. I'm not.

Later that night, I met up with some amigos in San Telmo... in a whole other area of San Telmo I've never seen... that was exciting! Had some delish pizza. Again.

Then today, I went boot shopping. And I actually FOUND some boots! Once again the impossible became possible. I hardly EVER find anything that fits over my giant calves. But I did, and I'm wearing them now and they are awesome. I spent about 6 hours in Palermo getting lost, trying on shoes, getting lost, buying some purses, getting lost, etc...

Tonight there will be some late night Buenos Aires shenanigans. Que vida.

Warning, cute boots here
