Here I am in Buenos Aires! Arrived about 45 minutes late and when I finally got out of customs and to the gate, Francisco was there waiting. I did have a hostel booked on Avda Mayo, but he offered to let me stay at his apartment, and so I accepted. He seems like a really great guy. The very first thing he said when he saw me was " You look terrified!". Which, in all honesty I was. But he is only 26 and owns his own company. Besides offering a ride, his home, and his advice, he even went as far as to make me a set of keys to his place.
Anyway, he went off to work, and I fought my urge to sleep and explored the city a bit. I swear, if I had brown eyes and never had to open my mouth, I would fit right in. Just like in España though, I keep catching myself smiling at people on the street (which is a no no). That is going to be my hardest habit to break. I'm still on the hunt to figure out how the ATMs here work. Its pretty intimidating because there is a police officer outside each bank door. And I'm the idiot that doesn't know how to extract pesos from her card. Its rejected me in my every attempt. I guess I can't spend money if I don't have it!
