I'm sorry that I haven't posted pictures - for one; I don't want to look too much like a tourist by snapping pictures of everything and becoming a target, and two; I don't know how to load the ones that I do have on the blog! If I can't post them here I will just put them on facebook, I think most of you are my friends on there anyway.
Yesterday I took the bus into the city to visit Pri, but this time the line ended when I was only half way there - I was confused as to why the same bus as yesterday wouldn't go to the same place, but I walked down a block and got on another bus (with the same number) which took me where I needed to go. Then last night I took the same bus home but I missed my stop because the street I was looking for has a different name on the side that I was looking at, I had recognized the area and knew that I should be getting off soon, so when we entered into territory that I was unfamiliar with I knew I had gone too far. I asked the bus-driver how long ago we had passed my street and he said about 20 blocks ago. Great. I got off and started walking back at about 10:00 pm. This might sound scary, but it really wasn't - 10:30 is actually early in Argentina and families are eating around then. Restaraunts do not even open for dinner until 8:30.
When I got home I asked my hostess about the buses not going all the way to downtown and she said I needed to look for a bus that said Constitution. This afternoon I found a bus that had all the right signes, but when I asked the driver if he went to my stop he said "no", so I got off and waited for the next one - with the right number and said "Constitution" in the window. I asked this driver about my stop and he also said "no", so I decided to stay on and do the same thing that I did yesterday and just make a transfer at Ave. Congresso. I made the transfer and was able to get downtown fine after that but I have some questions for Neli...
Last night Pri, Flavio, and I picked up a pizza (Pri said they have the best pizza in the world here). The pizza had mozzarela cheese and meat slices covering it (like sandwich meat) and had whole green olives (with the pit) arranged on top and no tomato sauce to speak of. It was alright, but I would not lay claim to it being the best in the world. Speaking of pizza - I saw a man on rollerblades delivering pizza last night on my way home. Thought I would share :)
