Last night we went to Brujas, a discoteca and restaurant in Palermo and traveled Plaza Seranno at its peak hours with my roommates and the two boys on our trip.
- Up: The weather was so beautiful that we walked all the way to Palermo, and had a great time hanging out with each other!
- Down: We could not dance at the discoteca because we were not 21 years old. Darn!
- Up: We went somewhere else afterwards instead and took Radio Taxis home.

Phones
- Up: Upon waking up this morning, Elizabeth and I finally got our cell phones to function! After time on the phone with Movistar and understanding the phone card attendant, we both have working phones to contact each other.
- Down: We had the neighbors in our apartment help us on the phone line.
- Up: We met our neighbors doing it! We were never given the zip code for our apartment because they are not very important here, but apparently they are to Movistar. I ran downstairs and found a woman named Amelia who got her mail and came over to show us what the zip code was, and ended up finishing off the phone conversation with Movistar. Thankfully we are not afraid to do things like this and it worked out well!
Art in Buenos Aires
- Up: One of Jordin's classmates from Highland Park who goes to Vanderbilt contacted her on Facebook that he was studying abroad here as well! He told us about an art exposition called arteBA (art in Buenos Aires) and it was held at a center called La Rural, comparable to McCormick place. We met him there and although I'm not artistic, I really enjoyed the art fair! There were hundreds and probably thousands of different exhibits of Argentinean artists who bring their best work to win awards at the show. We examined almost all of it--from photography, to watercolor, to paintings to huge statues--and I have plenty of photos of my favorite work.
- Down: Stacey got pickpocketed on the Subte (Subway) on the way there and her entire wallet is gone :(. Elizabeth and Stacey went home to get things taken care of and met another neighbor who helped them call VISA and Wells Fargo in Argentina.
- Up: Her cards are all cancelled and the pickpocketer left with nothing, except maybe a Vera Bradley wallet to sell!

Successful Saturday I'd say, and now we're off to get some helado para el postre (ice cream for dessert)!
