My last day in Buenos Aires. I am sad to be saying good bye to this city, I am definitely going to come back after brazil to learn spanish. I never understood how important it is to know multiple languages. Almost everyone in this hostel knows 3 languages! 3. i thought that was something that only happened in movies. I ventured out today and visited the Plaza de Mayo, google it. It was so old and beautiful. Veterans were protesting in the square and they were beating drums and police where everywhere groups of them marching in riot gear it was kinda weird I was looking around to see if maybe something was happening and I didnt get it, but no everyone was happy and playing, its just how they do. I then went to Av Santa Fe for some window shopping in la Recoleta. I went to the cemetario de la recoleta and saw where evita and thousands of other argentinians are laid to rest. I ate at mcdonalds, which was stupid expensive, a kids meal with an extra water was 8 american dollars. but omg. they make the kids cheese burgers plain. but they toast the bun and melt the cheese, it was like the best burger ever! i wanted to go buy 5 more! the fries actually tasted like potatoes! it was the best mcdonalds food i've ever had i think. I walked and walked and got some pictures, I´m still working on getting them off my camera. I got stuck on the subway during rush hour with an upset stomach....that was fun. Now I gotta go pack to see my dad! A good nights sleep and a 24 hour bus ride and i'll be in Brazil! I can´t wait to see the beach!
