onward and upward!
Day six: We had sunday to be awesome, so, we went and visited a walking street with street vendors called Defensa St. in the morning, they had an old antique block, where people just showed up with random antiques and sold them on the street. we managed to find an interesting market with all sorts of really cheap produce, and so, we got bananas,plums and oranges. on an unrelated note, i found out yesterday that i like foreign yogurt, but not american yogurt. weird.anyway, if you walked farther on, you find various types of street vendors and street performers, which was great. there was a man dancing tango with a maniquin, some guy with parrots (dont know why though), guys with guitars, and the invisible man, all trying to get money from passing tourists. we found a man selling chocolate dipped churros (delicious) and people selling awesome craftmanship stuff. now im really hungry. at the end of defensa, we found a plaza mayo, which houses the argentinian equivalent to our "white house", and a ridiculous amount of pigeons. it was crazy awesome. we walked back at this point, and i think we took a nap. but im not sure. and then i went to the nightly meeting.
