Gonna hit the ground runnin

So we arrived in Buenos Aires this morning and made a mad dash to the hostel. Apparently speeding is a local past time here. Passed through some pretty shanty areas of town, but the hostel seems to be in a pretty good area (we're just right down the street from the president's house) and Florida (the I-drive of Buenos Aires) is just around the corner.

We hit up the president's house this afternoon while killing time before checking-in. Looks like she could throw a pretty good party. Open areas all over the place. Afterwards we swung by the Obelisco de Buenos Aires (they're version of the Washington Monument). It's strange that I've now seen the Obelisco before I've seen the Washington Monument. Oh well. Gonna grab a bite to eat here in a bit and then who knows. One things for certain, there's a bar on the roof top of this joint, so that's always in the cards.

Hasta luego! translation: Check ya later!
