Buenos Aires: Day 1 and 2

25 September 2009: After getting up at 7 in the morning, our bus left Casa ACU at 8 am. We took a two hour drive to Colonia-I slept most of the way :) We stopped at a place where a man had a pencil and keychain collection that made the Guiness Book of World Records!! We also just tried some home-made jams (onion, pumpkin, banana and grape) were just a few. We explored the town for three hours-taking pictures and playing at the parks. After getting everyone back together we drove to the port and got on the ferry. This ferry was completely different from the Statton Island ferry in NY. It was almost like an airplane, but in boat form. The ride was an hour to BA and the rest of the night was spent getting settled. We also found an ATM, ate dinner and swam in the heated pool.

26 September 2009: We woke up for breakfast at 8 and left at 9:30 to go on our tour of the city. Plaza de Mayo, San Telmo, La Boca, Puerto Madero, Palermo and Recoleta. There are lots of places to shop and buildings to see! If you want more details about these places, please ask. At five we went to a art museum...for a long time. We then changed to go a Tango show! That was lots of fun :)
