Who needs sleep?

My first weekend was nothing short of spectacular!
On Friday night we went to Puerto Madero, which is an upper-class area with ritzy restaurants and nightlife. So of course we had to go.
The restaurant we went to was called La Isla. It was absolutely amazing. We got there at about 11pm, which isn't out of the ordinary at all. I had chicken stuffed with gruyere cheese and spinach, covered with a cream sauce. I could have sworn I was in heaven. We also bought a bottle of wine to go with our meal. Between the conversation and the food, it was the perfect way to start off the night.
After dinner, we went to a boliche called Asia de Cuba, where we met some more people from our program. Even though the cover charge was a little more than I thought it would be, we had a blast. We got there around 2am and didn't leave until about 6 in the morning. By the time I got home and in bed it was close to 7.
I love BA.
Saturday I didn't do much (I wonder why), but it was also good just to have a day to rest and not do anything. But there's no way we were going to stay in on Saturday night! Trying to figure out what we were doing took longer than expected though. It didn't help that the first taxi we were going to take had possessed doors that slammed my fingers into them. Needless to say, the taxi driver heard a few choice words (in English) as I walked away. Don't worry, nothing is broken - just a little bruised and larger than normal.
After getting some ice, I was good to go. We ended up going to a bar called Shamrock. The vibe was just relaxed and we shared a couple bottles of wine and just talked. I love nights like those. We made it home around 5am and went to bed.
On Sunday I went to basically a giant outdoor flea market where you can find anything and everything you ever wanted and never needed! This thing is huge. I'm talking a couple miles long - and it happens every Sunday! I didn't end up getting anything, due to the fact that I had no cash on me, thanks to the previous two nights. But I'll probably end up going back one of these weekends.
We bought our bus tickets to Mendoza today!! I'm super excited about that. We leave Friday at 7:30pm and take the 14 hour bus ride overnight to Mendoza. We'll stay in a hostel on Saturday night and go on the wine tours over the weekend. We're looking at one that is a bike tour and a wine tour all in one! Whatever we decide will be fun I'm sure. We get on another bus on Sunday at 6pm to get home early Monday morning. Just in time for classes...yay.
This week is going to be another busy week filled with class, cultural events, dancing, tango lessons (we get one on Thursday!) and whatever else comes.
For now, though, sleep sounds pretty good.
To everyone back home: miss you and love you!
Besos!
