The search for a perfect Sunday

I had an amazing Sunday, so I thought I’d share it with you.

So when our bus pulled into the bus station at 9 am, we were all starving, and craving a normal breakfast (other than medialunas, and dulce de leche). Becca had seen a place kind of close to my house called Waffles of the world. Since there are NO breakfast places in BsAs, we were stoked to try it out. We took a bus from the bus station to the restaurant. Note: we still have all our luggane and are in sweats because we are coming right off our 12 hour bus ride from the night before. The place ended up being closed on Sundays. We were bummed. So we took the subway, then a taxi to Olsen, which I KNEW had a Sunday brunch. They weren’t open yet, and were full with reservations. We still wanted breakfast so we walked 12 blocks (with our luggage and in sweats…stupid gringas) to a normal café that had desayuno Americano. We were so happy after our long journey to have bacon, eggs, toast, OJ and coffee. :) That was the first time, other than the breakfast at the four seasons, that I had a real, good, American breakfast.

The rest of my day was filled with fun. I ended up joining my host family watching a rugby game in a bar. Imagine a sports bar, with TVs everywhere, FILLED with people (like Superbowl Sunday filled… you had to reserve a table). They are huge guys screaming bad words at the screen. I loved it. I’m really starting to understand the game and I kinda got into it. It’s better than football, for sure.

Later I met up with Alex and enjoyed Ice cram outside on the grass, it was a beautiful, warm, springtime day, then we went into the café, (downstairs in the far back corner…paranoid much?) and played on our computers and studied.
outside the cafe...everyone was outside...

The rest of the night was filled with a great dinner with my girls, going to Becca’s lover’s soccer game, and going out for a few drinks (I found a bar with great mojitos).

All in all, it was an awesome Sunday, I knew I had the rest of the week ahead of me, including 2 midterms and a trip to Iguazu on Thursday. Those will be some amazing pictures!
