A Tourist's Weekend... Part 2



The next day was a trip out to mataderos. It was really interesting. We had to grab the 180 bus and go about an hour or so out of the center of the city. We went to the most crowded, biggest, loudest feria I have yet to be to. There were a lot of really cool things there however! It was really cool, and there was a pony and a puppy that just melted my heart (which is rather hard to do). Then we caught the 180 back into town. All hell broke loose on the bus. Apparently an old lady was sitting down and another old lady was standing up. The sitting down old lady offered the standing up old lady her seat and was pointing at a young girl sitting down and saying rude remarks. The young girl proceeded to say that she was pregnant and she was allowed to be sitting down. Well the sitting down old lady kept pointing at a sign and said that it said handicapped before pregnant so the two old ladies should be allowed to sit down now the young girl. It ended in the old lady giving up her seat to the other old lady and the before sitting old lady who is now standing made the young girl cry. It was horrible! Then we got off went to see Ghosts of my Girlfriends Past, which was really cheesy and we topped the night off with a dinner on Lavalle! Woo hoo! Food, movie, fun… it was an overall successful weekend! Now, to get back to doing my work!
