Feria de Mataderos


SO, I'm copying Ashley's post. I went with her to the Feria de Mataderos after the night before we unsuccessfully made it to the movies. We woke up early and haded out to the fringes of the city. It was dirty, smelly, crowded, and WONDERFUL! I loved it! It to me represented a more latin american feel than the cosmopolitan city life of the portenos. I ate some yummy chocolate covered almonds and Ashley bought some candy coated strawberries with popcorn stuck to it. I tried it and it was magnificent. I also got to do some shopping, with all of the money that I DON'T have. I bought some stuff for my apartment next year, including Aldina's Birthday present!! And a handpainted salt and pepper set for our kitchen! Also, I dound this adorable sign for my bathroom that says PiPi Room. We ate at a decent restaurant that was packed full of people. Ashley had some nasty tuna salad stuff, while I opted for the Steak Sandwich. After the feria, we headed back to the microcenter. We were able to Ghosts of My Girlfriends Past that i so wanted to see, although admittedly it was pretty stupid. Anyhow, we then wandered around the scary streets before walking Calle Florida to Lavalle to grab a bite to eat. I had some decent pasta, and we called it a night.
