Waking up bright eyed and bushy tailed, Willie and I headed out on the town for some breakfast and shopping. We ate at a classic little café and had coffee, orange juice, and pastries. It was all delicious. We planned out the trip and all the food we will need. Following breakfast, at about noon we headed to the supermarket to buy the food for the trip. I thought it was pretty cool to see the similarities and differences between Argentinean and American supermarkets. For lunch we went to another little street corner sandwich shop. While eating at these sorts of places I really get the chance to see how people interact with each other, it’s so much different than in the US. Here at the sandwich shop, Willie befriended a stray dog, and I had the largest, possibly best sandwich I’ve ever had, nowhere in the US do they put actual steaks in the sandwich. After a bouldering session on Fernando’s climbing wall, we headed out to a little all you can eat meat pub, which was run by a 9 year old girl. The meat was so amazing--real Argentinean steak, and later I got to have a taste of the blood sausage which is just clotted blood in a sausage tube, it was...interesting.
