After a short 18 hour bus ride (not short at all but we are now seasoned long distance bus folk) we arrived back in the big city. We headed directly to Chad and Kori’s (our texas friends living here while Kori attends Chef School) and chilled for the morning.
My hidden agenda had the Argentina vs. Uruguay soccer game in my crosshairs for later that evening. Chad and I went to the stadium to see if we could round up some tix. We were successful, actually we were lucky. In a brief moment of error we purchased two lower level, half line tickets for face value $50. After realizing his mistake he started rapping and steaming in a state of frustration. The deal had already gone down we both said in our best spanish confrentation talk. We quickly headed into the stadium to confirm these tickets were the real deal, hot dog the foreigners won! 
The seats were great, the game was a blast! Argentina quickly scored 2 goals and then sat on their heels the rest of the game (I think this is a metaphor for Argentine work ethic?). Uruguay scored early in the second half making the rest of the game interesting.
We have been shopping and enjoying the high life here in BA this week with our side trip to Tigre.
Some may know some may not: we have returned to Buenos Aires for our last week in South America. WE ARE COMING HOME!

My favorite chant had the entire stadium jumping and singing "saltan salta saltar a Uruguay" (let's jump, jump, jump on uruguay)
After a few pre game sprinkles we had a beautiful evening, some new futbol chants lingering in my mind we met up with the girls in China town for some grub.
The following day we headed to the antique market in San telmo.

Crazy and touristy we enjoyed another beautiful day. San telmo is a cool, old neighborhood.
