San Isidro

After getting home at around 6am the night before, we had to wake up for a tour of San Isidro at 1030am the next morning...it was sooo rough. It was a really long day and to be honest not that fun, but we got some good pictures and did see another part of Buenos Aires. It has a very gothic look to it and at some points reminded me of Duke! 
cute parts of the city
The city center- with cobblestone streets


At the "Mirador de los tres eombues"- an amazing view of the river

The gothic architecture- this chapel made me feel like I was back at Duke!

After a tour of the city we had a tour of the Villa o Campo mansion. It is an old home of a wealthy family that was built in the city with many different styles of influence from Europe. It was beautiful but the tour was extremely long and boring and in spanish and extremely hard to understand.

The beautiful mansion!

After we were taken to get tea on the river. It was a beautiful site to be at but it was freezing so we could not really enjoy the outside. We were also still exhausted and just wanted to get home. 



We make it seem like we are really enjoying ourselves...

That night I took a 4 hr nap and did not go out to recover from the crazy friday night we had. I was very impressed when all my friends rallied for another night but I was happy to be feeling not hungover and healthy for a very productive sunday spent working and enjoying my day.
