July 10 day and night

Since nobody wanted to go to the club on Friday night, I decided just to get a good night's rest (for once). I got up fairly early today and went to el Tigre, which is probably one of my absolutely favorite places I've visited. I took the train from near my house to Retiro, then another hour long train ride from Retiro to Tigre. I got there around 11:45am, then walked around to figure out where on earth things were in the city. I did an hour long Parana delta tour, which was way freaking awesome (keep your eyes peeled for a couple facebook videos). Tigre is a city on the Parana River, near the Delta. There are people that live "in" the delta, so the boat took us up all the small channels to see all the houses and motels. After the boat tour, I went to look at the amusement park, used the CLEAN bathrooms in the casino (god it was nice to finally have a very clean bathroom), and then took the Tren de la Costa. I just rode the train to the end, and then on the way back, I got off at THE BEACH. yes. the beach. how beautiful. It was really cool because the train basically followed the coast and I got to see a lot of parts of the outskirts of Tigre and some more indigenous neighborhoods. After I got back from the train, I went to the Puerto de Frutas, perhaps the most giant of all markets. This market went on for many many blocks, and I bought a couple more argentine CDs, since they are SO cheap here. I probably barely touched the tip of the market and was there for a good couple hours. I found a hamburger and hotdog stand near the parana river, and got a GIANT cheeseburger for just over 6 pesos. that's like...... REALLY CHEAP in USD. And this burger was comparable to the biggest burger you could get at red robin or something of the sort. FANTASTIC. I left Tigre around 5pm and made it back to the house around 7pm. I took a 2 hour nap, then we had chicken milanesa for dinner (one of my absolute favorite foods here). A big group of us went out tonight around 12:30am to a bar in Plaza Serrano (Macondo Bar). We hung out there for a little bit, then Karen and I decided to go to a nearby boliche called Tazz Soho. This boliche was WAY awesome. We got a drink when we got in, which was the best drink I've had here by far, and the club had 3 floors. The first floor was the bar, lounge, and pool tables. The second floor was basically the same, and then the third floor was a bar and dance floor. I ended up losing Karen at some point throughout the evening, but I was having a good time dancing and the dance floor was so crowded it was impossible to find her. The club kicked everyone out around 6am, then I tried to get a taxi home. Well apparently the taxis only go on very main roads at 6am, so I started walking towards a main road (which ever way that happened to be). I ran into some people from Buenos Aires who I recognized as being friends with one of the guys I danced with in the club. They started talking to me and I walked with them to the main road, and one of the guys also got me a taxi. How awesome of them. They were super super nice people and I'm really glad I ran into them. The taxi driver and I had a nice conversation on the way home. We talked about the weather, since he was shocked I was only wearing a t-shirt, and then about school, and the United States. He said I speak very good Spanish. YAY YAY YAY! What a fantastic evening. I love Buenos Aires. It's now 7:15am. Time for... a nap?
