back to buenos

my time in cali has come to an end and today i find myself in one of my favorite cites: buenos aires. it wasn’t easy getting here, i almost didn’t make my bogota flight due to weather and the flight to buenos aires was completely full. i was given a seat in the last moment and my blood pressure finally took a break. this will be my 4th time in buenos aires. there are so many reasons why i love this city. i mostly associate it with the memories ive shared with friends in the past…(mostly spent over steak, wine and empanadas) but now its time to make new ones with some new friends. my friend aaron from LA is out here, we landed around the same time and spent most of the day cruising in scooters avoiding potholes and manic taxi drivers. we checked out ricoleta cemetery, roamed around the mini mansions/mosuleam and finally found evita’s grave. we cooled off with a tasty beer from nearby brewery patagonia hailing from the southern city of bariloche. we ditched the scooters and hopped on an uber back to our hostel and quickly made friends with an aussie - also named aaron - a brit, american, serbian, and a dutch. im not exactly sure who started it but we began to talk about our favorite films fro the next 2 hours and it was beautiful to see really, how all of us from different countries can love film so much along with hearing how different our opinions were about the film we loved. many beers and a very crappy shawarma later both aaron’s and i found ourselves at a dash berlin trance concert. had never been to a trance concert before but very glad i went. the place was packed and when the headliner came on everyone erupted with cheers and hands in the air. the next 4 hours the man kept spinning and twisting dials, morning light greeted us directly behind us as the night sky slowly lifted its veil. didn’t get back to the hostel until 9am, slept till 1pm. today is saturday and i am in buenos aires
