Jenna's cousin and best friend Chelsea came to visit for the weekend and we decided to stay in Buenos Aires and do lots of touristy things here! We went to brunch at Oui Oui which was delicious and one of our first "American" brunches in Buenos Aires.
Giant Alfajores at Oui Oui!
We went to the Japanese Gardens which are beautiful zen gardens in the middle of Buenos Aires! We got lots of great pics and enjoyed a sunny afternoon walking around the gardens.
Jenna and Chelsea!
That night Sofia took us out with her! We went to a pregame at a roof top apartment followed by going to an extremely overwhelming club which we left very soon after because it was PACKED with people and we were terrified we were going to lose each other in the madness.
The next day we went with IES to a rugby game in San Isidro. Rugby is an extremely weird sport that even after watching I still do not understand. All the men were pretty good looking, all girls here think they are beautiful, and it was crazy how they were not wearing pads and just tackling each other everywhere! The best part is when they had some sort of throw in and would throw each up in the air to catch the ball.
Goal!
Right before a Try
We got our face painted!
The next day we decided to take a day trip to the suburb of Tigre. We ended up having a 4 hour miserable lunch because the server forgot about us and then refused to rbing us any food, not even bread. It was MISERABLE. But at least it was a sunny day! We made the last boat ride where we got to see the town of Tigre and loved it so much decided we wanted to come back and rent a cabin on one of the islands the following weekend!
On the boat!
The amusement park
Such a beautiful town!
We had such a great time with Chelsea and loved having visitors come to Buenos Aires! It really felt like Chelsea was just one more of the girls and we were sad to see her leave! Other notable things we did with Chelsea- went shopping in Palermo, went to Plaza Serrano for drinks at Eva and met some random dancing man with a red hat, went to Asia de Cuba which was really fun, went to Ilatina for dinner! (most amazing dinner I have had here), late night ate popcorn and dulce de leche mmmm, had dulce de leche ice cream, rode the bus/perfected the use of it like 30 times in a day, and really had so much fun together!
