If I had to think of one in particular, I guess it would be
difficult to give an answer, however, and since I don’t want to be incoherent,
I will. I remember one morning on my birthday that my husband (my boyfriend
back then) woke me up and gave me an envelope. At the time I thought “What a
weird present, is it money?” Then I opened it and I realized it was a plane
ticket. I remember I was a bit shocked; really, it was a plane ticket with
hotel and everything to go to Buenos Aires the weekend after. I did no show
much enthusiasm at the time since I had been waiting for something different, I
suppose. However, I think this has been one of the best weekends ever. I had
never been to Buenos Aires before and we had a wonderful time. We went to the
typical sights; we also went to a tango club (and tried to dance!). I spent
hours in libraries and got a few books for much better prices. I suppose what I
liked the most, was the fact that people are so nice there. Being a capital
city, it is a completely different attitude towards others. Less hostile, I
think. Also, in general the
ordinary people in the streets seem so knowledgeable about their history,
culture and that is really nice. It seems like culture is everywhere. I really
enjoyed it. Now it is one of my nicest memories.

Oh my, that sounds really great! why you weren't excited at frist? I can guess maybe because people have plans ad stuff to do and a surprise travel could be a little weird to handle, But I'm glad you ejoy it at the ed, I've never been in Buenos Aires, but next week I'll be going to Uruguay for the ALAB congress, so I'll pass through Buenos Aires, I hope I can see something, or at least just eat some pasta, ahahaha!

Hello!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful history, I hope that you can come back whit you husband I think very nice.
As you said on an older post: experiences are better than stuffs. I traveled to Buenos Aires with my mom in 2006, it was a great trip. We went to the typical neighborhoods too, but I liked specially San Telmo and Tango's street shows. I think Tango is a gorgeous dance.
