Monday, December 28th. Before leaving, we put a washing (it was time ^^) We leave then with Edgar to the post office (for the package of Christmas which we send to the family) In the first post office, we buy the box but we cannot send the package, they make not the international departures. We go to a bigger post office (always on foot, Edgar likes walking!) we take a number, we wait one moment for our tour… And there they weigh the package and it is too heavy. It is necessary to go to the central post of Buenos Aires, to Retiro, a little bit far district to go on foot there! The thing it is that it is already enough late, and that we have appointment with a guy of Couch Surfing to eat in the lunch. So we don’t have time to go to the post office. Edgar suggests going there alone while we are going to eat. Too kind!
We find the guy in the center, and the other one French joins us. Funny, we had discussed with her during the evening of Christmas! We eat a famous Argentine beefsteak. Really very very good and very tender, then pear in the wine for dessert hhuuummmmmmmm! Very pleasant lunch.
At 3 pm, we find Edgar a little farther to visit together the district of Puerto Madero, a district compound of dam, a nature reserve (but it was closed), and of big modern high buildings. Honestly, that did not really seduce us! Edgar tells us his problem to send the package: in the post office, they opened all the beautiful presents which we had made. They saw our candies of coca extract (that we returned of Peru) and which are forbidden somewhere else: it is some drug! They give Edgar a bawling out! Lol Then they see the camera and its charger (that of Nadège Which does not work anymore since the rain to Rio), but not the right to send electronic devices … And finally the bottle of pisco (sorry Etienne, that it was your present but now it is empty) Already the bottle is rolled up by several thicknesses (adhesive tape, bag blows up, re adhesive tape, bubbles, big adhesive tape… they spend a long time opening it!) When the bottle is open, oh horror, we cannot send some liquid! So Edgar offered the pisco to a lady in the street) Too much disgusted, we don’t know what looks like our package now … In any case Edgar was ashamed well. Sorry Edgar, and still thank you!
Then, we go back. We make some shopping for the next day (need of a picnic). Rest, internet. Then meal: schnitzel (or milanesa in Spanish) prepared by him mother. A delight! Then we go out. On the base we wanted to see a tango show, but it is really too expensive! Then we decide to go to San Telmo to find a bar with demo of tango. It is already late, so there are no more subway (they stop at 10:30 pm…) thus we have to wait for the bus for a long time, then the bus puts one hour … It is almost midnight when we arrive, and we find a bar, but we see the couple of dancers of tango that on 2 musics … It is always better that nothing! Meanwhile, Manuele, Italian with whom we had taken the courses of tango, join us. Nice evening!
