Hm... weekend fun!

Woo Hoo.. what should I write about? I am confused by what I should write here. I've written about my experiences; I've written about the politics; I've written about the economy. I guess I could inform my readers about what happened in my life this weekend.

Well, to begin the weekend, I made an excursion out to Museo Evita. What a political mess. I do not even think locals attend this museum. Though I have to say, the best part was to see her clothing. I swear, that woman has some definate design taste! I loved her clothing. Then I went on to see even her finger prints forever set behind plexy glass! After the trip into Palermo for the museum, I made my way back home just in time to get ready and go to Ave. Corrientes. This is known as the Buenos Aires Broadway. Here, I met up with Chelsea for a classic play, Joven Frankenstien. Also known as, Mel Brooks classic, Young Frankenstien! This was a laugh a minute. Chelsea was histerically laughing, apparently she did not kow what she was getting into! But may I just say, I LOVE THE MOVIE, and I certainly LOVE THE PLAY!

The next stop in my weekend adventures was the market in Belgrano. I wandered around here, and came across of a lot of neat and new ways of making art! After this, I went for lunch with Chelsea at some place that did not have CHEESECAKE, which was rather depressing. I then made my way back hom on the 59 Bus. May I just say, I felt a lot better about myself after taking the bus for a grand total of 2.50 pesos, vs. the 60 pesos round trip for cab fare! I swear, the bus system is amazing once you figure it out, and you are willing to walk a little bit!

Today, SUNDAY, I made my way to San Telmo, by walking down Florida, to Casa Rosada (where Eva Peron gave her famous speeches from) and down Ave. Defensa! I saw tango shows on the side of the streets, and the art was definately interesting. I was so excited to see the great antiques fair, which is probably one of the most important one in Latin America. Besides the fact I could not purchase any antiques because they were way to expensive, I watched as two men got their camera stolen because they were such loud obnoxious Americans. I swear, do not make yourself apparently foriegn here! Or people will try to steal from you in the assumption that you have a lot of money, and can spare losing something! Besides that, this has been my weekend. I topped it off with a movie, The Unborn, which was far too scary for my taste, but it was the only movie playing when I was walking back on Lavelle towards my homestay on Carlos Pelligrini!
