Today we decided to head down to the San Telmo market which everyone highly recommended. On the way there, we decided to stop at a roadside restaurant to have a quick bite... we meet the Indian guy from Sucre (the one with all the bad luck). It's so strange that in these huge countries we still manage to run into people we know! So we sat around and managed to drink many bottles of wine while discussing our travels as his 7 months of traveling is up and he leaves today.
Then we finally went to the market, 4 hours later than planned, and it was pretty cool. The stall sold all sorts of artisan crafts, felt a bit like a flea market. I bought some sunglasses and a very funky ring. Then we watched a bunch of street performers and singers, it's always fun to watch the drunk dancers!
Finally we said bye to our friend and went to an Irish pub called Gibralter where they had chicken tikka masala on the menu so we just had to order it. What it was was rice with some kind of bbq chicken placed on top of the rice, and a bit of packet curry sauce. Not at all close, but they tried and got the colour right atleast!
The day pretty much whizzed by with so much wine, I was ready for bed by 12 am. Bernie continued on with some peeps at the hostel but it looks like it was a quiet night. Today we are moving hostels to Milhouse which is apparently a "party hostel" so I wonder how our next 2 days will go! We are also planning to head over to Uruguay which is only 2 hours away from BA, maybe visit a new country for a day. And finally in a few days we'll be off to Iguacu falls on the Argentina side before crossing over to Brazil.
