New Apartment

Reserved a new apartment for next month in Buenos Aires. Map here. The apartment I'm in right now is really starting to get to me with all the noise. Im looking forward to my new one a lot. I tried to choose the quietest one possible (7th floor with big shutters for any noise). I chickened out on moving to Rosario. Not sure if my Spanish is good enough to move to another city. Spanish has been super frustrating lately. I don't feel like I'm getting any better at speaking from just 4 hours of lessons a week. My comprehension is actually very good, but not knowing how to convey your thoughts into words when you want to is really frustarting. Not too much else going on down here.

Rosario

Went to Rosario with my friend Juan and Bahram yesterday. Juan's Dad agreed to drive us and let us explore the city while he was at a meeting. It was a really fun time. I really like Rosario. We rented bikes which happened to be bright purple ones with a basket and a bell. We rode through parks where it seemed all the locals laughed at us. Did I mention Rosario is famous for it's attractive women? At least they noticed me, haha. After we were done riding bikes we went to a famous restuarant called El Cairo and had dinner with Juan's Dad. Stayed at a hotel last night and drove back today. I'm seriously considering moving to Rosario next month.

Garden

Did something kind of touristy today. Went to the botanical gardens. I even took a picture! It's probably better when Spring comes around.
