It's official, less than 2 weeks to go until I'm on a plane back to Minneapolis. For those of you keeping track of where I will be when, and those of you waiting with bated breath for my glorious return, I'll be in Minneapolis the morning of Friday the 24th and in the Cities until the 28th. At which point I relocate to Seattle until September 1st.
The last two weeks will be a flurry of activity, I can already tell. I made the classic rookie mistake of compiling a list of everything I wanted to do with my time in Buenos Aires. And then I methodically looked at things on the list and said "there'll be time for that later". And now I've got a relatively lengthy list and next to no time to do any of it. Fortunately I'm not really over reaching, I have enough time to do everything but I've lost the luxury of a leisurely pace.
What's left on the hit list? Dinner at Gran Parilla del Plata, home of the greatest steak I've ever eaten (going tonight actually). A few boliches (raucous night clubs that go until after the sun has risen) and one or two more restaurants and speakeasies. The Boca Juniors (the single greatest futbol club in all of Latin America) are in town at home this weekend and next, so hopefully I can find someone who wants to go with me. Gonna try and make an adventure of the trip out to El Tigre during my last weekend, we'll see how well that goes. Those things and some souvenir shopping, and I'll pretty much have it knocked out.
Other than that, I can't really think of anything else. I don't have the list in front of me, so I'll just have to add some stuff later.
In other news, the strike is still going, but getting in to work only took an extra half hour today. Which I factored in by leaving early and managed to get there on time today. Thankfully. And the weather has been really pleasant here for the past week or so, winter is really nice down here. Mid 50s and sunny. Life is good!
