Today, a group of us took the subway down to Plaza de Mayo and walked up and down Florida Street. Florida is a huge pedestrian mall area, with a ton of people and lots of touristy stores. Great people watching area. We ate lunch at a little cafe, then we headed down to the San Telmo Antiques Fair. I wasn't impressed with the merchandise....it was kind of like if your crazy aunt cleaned out her attic and decided to have a yard sale. There were plenty of interesting street performers there, though. I saw an older couple performing the tango, along with a lot of other, much less talented entertainers. We then took the subway back to the hotel and I read for class. A few of my classmates wanted to go to Friday's for dinner, so we headed over to the mall for that. Much to our disappointment, the food wasn't that great and it was expensive. Argentina's only Starbucks was right next to Friday's and there was the biggest line I've ever seen outside of it.
