Picnic in the park

There is absolutely nothing to do on a Sunday, but especially not on voting day. All of the stores and restaurants were closed and it is illegal to buy alcohol or consume it in public. Because of this, we decided it would be fun to put together a picnic and go to the big park in town to have a relaxing park day. We invited two of the guys staying at our hostel: an American from Texas and a guy from Switzerland. The park was huge and really beautiful. There were tons of other people out doing the same thing and we sat in the shade for a few hours people watching and discussing our respective adventures in Las Vegas, which seemed to be something we all had in common.

After our picnic, we decided to stop at the grocery store and pick up some provisions to cook dinner later. We settled on burgers, rosemary potatoes and salad. Back at the hostel, we met up with the four Irish boys who were also staying there and began chatting over beers. Luckily, the alcohol ban was lifted from the city at 9:00pm, so Alyssa ran to the store to grab red wine and the Irish guys bought some food and we all grilled together. The food ended up being delicious and the Irish guys were hilarious so they quickly turned a quiet night into a party. They had chosen a giant slab of beef at the store which took over an hour to cook but basically melted in your mouth. Apparently beef is very expensive in Ireland so they never eat it and were really living it up in Argentina. They ended up going out to the clubs around 12:00am but since we were going wine tasting the following morning, I decided it would be better to get some sleep and headed to bed.
