Today started around 10AM. I love vacation! It is the only time when I feel it is OK to sleep in so late. We got ready for the day, layered on everything warm and set out with our map and cameras.
We decided to explore the Centro area between our hostel and where we are going to move to tomorrow. We checked out a couple of plazas and found a great avenue called "Av. Florida" where there is lots of shopping and a little street tango.
One of the few things I knew about Argentina before getting here was mate (pronounced: mott-eh). It is the national tea that I have yet to taste. The containers that you see in the picture above are used to drink this special tea.
We walked for almost 6 hours today, and I feel tired, but excited! I like being able to explore by foot--it looks like most places we will go will be accessable by foot.
We don't have much planned for this trip--lots of exploring, lots of Spanish learning. I am excited to take small trips out of the city (especially to take a ship to Uruguay for a long weekend), and know I will really enjoy all the rest. Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day of moving and getting settled into a more permanent place.
