The End???

Today I stepped in dog crap for the first time. The shocking part of it...besides the fact that I was wearing flip flops and had to walk down the street discreetly scraping my shoe across the sidewalk....ew...was that it was the first time! The sidewalks of Buenos Aires are uneven, cobbled and strewn with dog crap, and exploring the city on foot is putting your little flip-flopped feet in perilous danger.
I arrived in Buenos Aires on Christmas Eve with no idea that I would be staying here any longer than 2 weeks. But as usual, plans change, and here I am!
Buenos Aires is like a massive chaotic Paris, with artists performing on the street next to homeless families and tourists. Every neighborhood has cultural centers, tango dancing, free concerts and shows and lots of art. This is expat heaven, and has some of the best nightlife in the world. No one goes out before 11 or 12, and rarely do they come home before 5. I danced tango, saw an air tango show in the park, gave a clown a sleeping bag, stayed up dancing til 8am and then ate breakfast burritos, went to a giant drum circle in the middle of the city, sang kareoke at some random persons birthdy party...
So now I´ve been in Buenos Aires for a month, and in about 7 hours I will be on a plane back home...woh...Can it be true? This trip went by in a flash and I can´t believe how much I got to see and do and how many really amazing people I´ve met. I think I got everything I could have asked for out of this trip. A chance to bond with someone I love, a fresh persective on the world and my life...
Now off to the real world!
