I got to sleep in this morning! It\u2019s also nice to have a room of my own. Before you judge me, remember that I haven\u2019t had a room to myself in about forty days. It\u2019s also a nice room because the sheets are pink and the curtain has butterflies on it. All three bedrooms are upstairs and so are the two bathrooms. Ethan has a small bed with brown, red, and blue sheets, and Mom and Dad have an en-suite bathroom. There\u2019s a bathroom between Ethan\u2019s room and the little utility area, which is behind a locked door on a balcony beside my room. Only Ethan has a balcony in his bedroom.<\/p>\n
Downstairs is the living area complete with a kitchen, balcony, half-bath, TV, dining area, couch, washing machine, and Argentina and Buenos Aires guidebooks. We are in the San Telmo neighborhood of BA. La Boca, Barracas, Constitucion, Monserrat, and Puerto Madero are its neighbors.<\/p>\n
After we were finally done waking up and having breakfast and all that good stuff, it was about 1 pm. Dad worked on the getting working phones, Mom napped, Ethan read, and I added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided away. Dad finally got the phones working (a huge relief), and Sergio, the man who watches the apartment and lives in Number 13 (we\u2019re in Number 2), fixed the hot water heater.<\/p>\n
We walked down to Peru Street to the Origen Caf\u00e9 for supper. We all had sandwiches and water. It was surprisingly easy to read the menu even if it was in Spanish. Words like \u201cpan\u201d and \u201censalada\u201d and \u201cagua\u201d are pretty easy to figure out.<\/p>\n
Once supper was over, we walked down to Balcarce Street past Plaza Dorrego and back up to our flat. It\u2019s good to be eating Tim-Tams from South Africa in the capital of Argentina.<\/p>\n
