After we moved to Art Factory the full effect of our exhaustion hit and we spent the next few days being completely sick sloths who did little else than eat and sleep...oh and take pills...lots and lots of medication (at the appropriate dosage of course). Finally after a quick visit from the doctor James was on some antibiotics and on the road to recovery.
During our recovery we did manage to make it outside once to see the local zoo. Actually an amazing zoo complete with lions and tigers and bears (you know what to do), elephants and giraffes, sheep (insert appropriate NZ joke...if you heard how many daily jokes I get about Bermuda you would understand that this is more than necessary), and many other animals. On the same trip we also managed to eat at a small empanada chain shop which stands as James´ favourite empanada to date. My favourite empanada is from a shop on the corner from our hostel where you can see from the street two woman hand making them all day long.
Yesterday after a late start we had a quick lunch at a world famous pizza shop, El Cuartito (http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/10/el-cuartito-serving-pizza-to-buenos-aires-since-1934-argentina.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+seriouseatsfeaturesvideos+%28Serious+Eats%29) recommended by Paul. Then we met up with our friends from Finland Toni and Elisa who we met on the tragic day of our robbery....still not sure if they are involved or not (pretty sure they arent although the jokes are getting a little close to home now). After a quick drink of vino tinto (red wine) on the terrace of our hostel we headed to the concert! Rage Against the Machine with Queens of the Stone Age to start. Dirty pancho for dinner washed down with some Pepsi (Pepsi concert therefore pepsi is appropriate). I can now say that I have been in a mosh pit...toes hurt a little the next day but it was well worth it. Never have I ever loved society´s appreciation for personal space more....or of soap. Sweaty hairy men of all shapes and sizes.... me stuck in between praying for my toes to make it out alive. The only way to stay safe most of the time was jumping with the crowd and holding on for dear life. Great concert over all. Something to mark off the bucket list.
Another much needed lazy day after our tiring walk back to our hostel...in the rain....with sore feet (I wanted to take a taxi!!!). Dinner with Justin and drinks with the Finnish friends then maybe off to Uruguay for a day or two.
