Argentina

Back from traveling for 2 weeks. Not only do I miss being on vacation but I truly miss Argentina. Everyone is so relaxed and is always up for having a good time. Things aren't too different south of the equator. Even though it's a temperate climate, it's still sort of a tropical way of life.

One of the favorite pastimes of Argentines is to have a picnic and drink mate. People like just sitting at a park or at a dock, drinking mate, and watching people walk by. Everything closes late because people take their time eating dinner and going to bars. Overall, because I was staying at an apartment and was with someone who lives there, I didn't feel like too much of a tourist so I got the city to really sink in.
