Mis Últimos Días

My last night in Buenos Aires... hard to believe it's here! The last couple days have been crazy, busy, and tons of fun. I really want to post like 5 separate little posts, but that might be excessive, so I'm going to try to condense.

Friday: Día del Amigo! As far as I understand, basically an excuse to go out to eat with your friends. My friend Nick from Yale and I had coincidentally planned a lunch that day, so we were a little worried that we wouldn't be able to find anywhere (people make reservations weeks in advance to ensure a spot for the holiday). We ended up eating at the bar at a place called Tancat. Which was really, REALLY good. I have thus decided to summarize my earlier blog restaurant references into a little list for you guys.

Brianna's List of Best Restaurants in Buenos Aires [with limited sample size]

1) Parilla Peña. See earlier post.

2) Alma Zen. Health food restaurant. So good that I seriously considered coming back with my mom solely for the purpose of eating here again (this is the unnamed restaurant from a few posts back).

3) Tancat. Best spinach ricotta crepes of my life!!

I also really love medialunas w/ jamón y queso, at any café.

Later that day I whittled down my three hair appointments to just one. Hopefully I chose the best one, we shall see tomorrow...

Saturday: Was going to go to the gym, but slept in instead. Was going to go on a tour thing with my old roommate, but she was sick, so slept some more instead.

That night, went to see the movie Pompeya at the Malba (art museum). Pompeya is the weirdest, most blood-filled movie ever. FYI, not a great movie to watch and then walk back to your house an hour in the dark...

Sunday: went to Tigre, a beach/island area about an hour from Buenos Aires with some SIP chicos. Train ride, fair, food, boat ride, walk around some islands, sit on dock, wade in river... awesome day.

Monday: Crazy busy last day! Gym, meet with professor, meet with guy from ministry of immigration (YES! FINALLY!), go to a class at the law school at the UBA with my friend Victoria who is a student there, meet with some friends of my Chilean host family to say goodbye, then last dinner with my host mom and pack!

The law class was super interesting. Every class I've sat in on at law schools (okay, that's just UChicago and here) has made me more sure that I want to go to law school myself. So yay :)

Now all that's left is weighing my suitcase (!), buying some last things, and heading off! Oh, and possibly going to exchange a leather jacket, because I am the most indecisive person in the world.

I have the perfect picture for a final "goodbye" post, but I will hold off until tomorrow.

Besos, Brianna
