La Boca!


Today, Morgan and I decided to give ourselves the day off from school (dont worry, I got the homework ahead of time!) and go back to La Boca. It was a beautiful day and because it was a weekday there weren't too many people there. We had the best time! We found so many great things to buy and had lunch at the cutest little cafe where the people were so nice! There was a little tango show at the cafe so while we ate we got to watch them dance! After we ate we got to walk around a little more and had a good time making friends along our way! Each cafe had guys standing out front trying to convince people to sit down and eat at their cafe. One group of boys talked to us for a while and one of them told his friends that I was his sister! haha they were fun. Then another guy somehow convinced us to follow him to his cafe. We were a little nervous because La Boca is known for being a pretty dangerous neighborhood if you stray from the 3 streets that are pretty touristy, and here we were following this stranger around the corner! He was good though, They had a little backyard cafe with live music and a painter had his art on display there. The paintings were absolutely beautiful! We got to practice our spanish and had a great VIP view of streets. The people that we talked to there were so nice, making sure that we were being careful with our bags and that we would find the right bus to catch on our way back! After a little more shopping we got suckered into another cafe with another live tango show to have cafe con leche. Not only was the coffee amazing, but the tango show was too! Morgan even got up to Tango with the cutest old man in Argentina! We had a great day!
