Up at 4:14am

So, it is 4:14am and I literally just got home to the hostel here. We are currently in Buenos Aires in the San Telmo district. Tonight, Gen and I went to a really amazing and intimate tango show. Today is Gen"s Birthday and she really really really wanted to see a tango show. So, we made reservations at some place in the center of the city near a popular street called Florida Ave. The show and the dinner was great. We ate an amazingly tasty posh dinner and got to watch a really cute and young Argentinean couple perform the tango dances for everybody. Also, there was a singer who sang romantic traditional songs in opera-esq style and had a voice that just belted out notes like you wouldnt believe! Anyway, after the show, the couple would then grab people from the audience and dance the tango with them. So, guess who got to be the first testpiece? me. I was really mortified at first but then I relaxed and followed his moves and wow! I really flowed and loved it! I now officially love to tango! Gen said that I flowed and moved really fluidly! And I felt like I was floating. It was so nice! Anway, afterwards we took a taxi to the Palermo district. Palermo is a really fun and cool young hang out. Gen and I were bar/club hoping and accidentally crashed a 18 year"s party!! It was so mortifying once we figured out what we did. At first we were attracted to the reggaeton music and then we couldnt figure out why this venue"s door was locked. Some 16 yr. old looking Argentinean boy lets us in. We walk in. I immediately notice that everyone looks like they are 16 or 17 years old. I don"t get it. Gen and I also didnt get why we all of a sudden got surrounded by young ass looking boys that keep asking us how we knew about this party and if we"d give them kisses. I go to the bar to order a drink and a 15 yr old looking girl comes up to me and speaks in ingles that this party is a private party and if I knew a Maxi. I think to myself and everything then clicks. Gen comes up to me at that moment and tells me that the boys are literally attacking her for smootches. I then inform her that we had crashed some Argentinean teeny bopper girl"s party. We immediately bail...totally embarassed. After that, we find a neat Argentinean dance club and bar that played great cumbia, salsa, and reggaeton music. We got a bit drunk and danced our brains out until about 15 minutes ago. It was awesome. Completely awesome. So, now I sit here at the computer typing away.
So, now I am really cracy tired. I will finish my other entries soon my dears.
