Our first night on the town




Patricias cousin, Santiago, met us at the hotel and went over maps of BA with us. He invited us to go to dinner with him as well. We went to a place called Ink. I can not tell you how happy we were to have him with us. We ate a very nice dinner and there was even entertainment. A drag queen who was lip singing songs and pulling people on stage to embarass them. Most of the time we had no clue what was going on, but it was still fun to watch.
Around 1am they cleared all of the tables out and it became a discoteca. They played a lot of 70's & 80's American music. Everyone dances. No one sits on the side. You get out there, whether you look silly or not, and dance. A lot of the men were broken hearted when they found out we didn't speak Spanish. We ended up getting back to our room around 3:45am.

Your experience with the language barrier sounds like mine in Japan.
No, there were not many english speaking natives in downtown Tokoyo, nor at the airport either.
Hope you are able to get out to see some of the beautiful nature areas of BA. I am glad to here your trip over went well.
Did you get my comment from a few days ago?
Love you and have fun for us!

Summer, your hair has gotten so long. I feel like it's been forever since I've seen you. Glad you are having fun!
