Two random nights in Buenos Aires

A week ago I went to meet with Eugenia (the girl who sat next to me on the plane to Buenos Aires) in the downtown but I went to the wrong place. I waited for an hour but I never saw Eugenia. While I was waiting there, Eugenia waited an hour for me in the correct place.
Eugenia didn't have a phone so I went to a cafe that had wifi and sent a message on Facebook. When Eugenia got home she got my message and replied. We decided to try meet again, this time in a place that was easier for me to find. When Eugenia was walking from her house to meet me she met a friend on the street. Her friend was going to a concert where another friend of theirs was singing. She invited Eugenia and me to the concert as she had spare tickets.


Patricio Arellano in Teatro Astral

This was my first concert in Buenos Aires but it was not the sort of music that I would normally listen to but I still enjoyed it a lot. Thank you to Eugenia and her friends for inviting me.

Another night Mic (an Italian guy that I met in Mendoza so is on an around the world trip) were invited to a birthday party on a boat. The boat was leaving from Olivos, which is about 5 stops on the train from my house. On the boat we had pizza for dinner then once dinner more people arrived and around 12am the boat left. There was lots of drink, fernet and coke (a very popular drink in Argentina) and lots of music but it wasn't possible to leave the boat.

Fiesta!
They played a mixture of music, some international but mainly cumbia and reggaeton. The boat reminded me of Coppers in Dublin except you couldn't leave.

Fiesta en el Barco
We went to Tigre and then about 5am we returned to Buenos Aires. It was a good night. Thanks to Claudia for inviting us.
