My Days are Numbered!

In realizing that this past weekend was the second to last one that I'll be spending in Buenos Aires, I still can't believe how fast this experience has gone. For me, really taking advantage of my last few weeks here in BA doesn't involve rushing around to everything in the city for the "last time." So much of it is just relaxing and taking in the environment that I have come to love. So this weekend was spent doing just that- relaxing and revisiting some of my favorite spots.

On Friday morning, I got my Brazilian visa! Since I am headed to Brazil in a month (less then a month, wow that is hard to believe) and all US citizens need visas to enter the country, it was something I needed to take care of. With relatively little complication (something about them telling me I needed an appointment, but me begging and trying to get everything taken care of anyhow...) I was able to get my visa and the right to enter Brazil for the next 10 years! Exciting.

Friday afternoon was spent in the Japanese garden. A touristy little oasis in the parks of Palermo. It was a beautiful day, and spending time amongst blooming flower in the city never gets old. Friday evening was spent at Chabad. After three weekends of being away, a certainly missed my Friday night Shabbos routine! It was great to see friends and eat a little (lot) of meat at the Chabad House in Recoleta.

Saturday was spent doing...nothing. I read some of my texts for school on the terrace of my house. It was incredibly tranquil and I enjoyed every second of relaxing. Saturday night I headed over the beautiful Colon Theatre to hear the French Philharmonic Orchestra. Beautiful!

And Sunday was spent walking around in Recoleta, working on my art project (taking pictures of buildings that I need to analyze), eating delicious feria (fair) foods, and doing some souvenir shopping (this is a real indicator that I'm headed home soon. yikes!).

Like I said, my days are numbered, but I'm trying to make them count.
