Last Day in Argentina 08/16/08

The final began at 8 AM. Hmmm...it was a lot harder than I expected. I finished a little bit before noon and then headed over to Recoleta Market to spend the last of my pesos on souvenirs. Then Katie and I headed to Alto Palermo Mall for our last lunch in Buenos Aires and to do a little more shopping. We had to check out of the hotel before we headed to the final, so we opted to go to the airport early for our flights back to the U.S. Unfortunately for me, Continental wasn't ready for check-in yet, so I sat for an hour and a half waiting for them to open. The lines weren't too bad and passing through security and customs was pretty quick. I toyed with the idea of spending more money at the Duty Free shops, but decided that I'd save my money for when I got home. The flight boarded and took off pretty close to schedule, and other than some scary turbulence over much of Argentina, the flight was pretty uneventful. I made it back to Oklahoma City a little early, actually. Then it was time to purchase my books and start studying for the next day's classes at OCU.
