THEY FINALLY ARRIVED!!

This morning I woke up at 7:45 AM to be ready for my taxi that picked me up at 8:45 AM. My driver's name was Jorge and he was probably one of the nicest people I have met here. He drove me to the airport so I could meet dad and Georgia, since they finally got a flight out after waiting in Atlanta for 4 days!! Georgia arrived and went to claim her bags. They say that dad's bags will be here in the morning, but we shall see. Jorge was very nice and waited for us without charging us and then drove us back to my apartment. From there he took Georgia to the Aeroparque so she could catch her flight to Puerto Iguazu.

My dad got to meet Pupi and helped finish packing my bags. It was really sad to leave Pupi and say goodbye to Kylie, but the fact that my dad is here helped with that. We walked to a hotel that is about 5 blocks from where I lived and luckily they had a room for us! We went and had lunch with Kylie and then said my goodbyes and we walked to where we could catch this big yellow city tour bus! After waiting for the bus, it arrived and was too full so they wouldn't let us on :( We passed sometime in the Spanish art museum, which was really cool. Then we walked across the street to the plaza and walked through the artesania stands. They have some really cool stuff. Since we couldn't get on the bus, we took a colectivo down to Recoleta. I showed dad the cemetery, we walked through all the artesanias there and then crossed the bridge to see the flower. It was a beautiful day to be out and about!

After that we caught a cab to Siga La Vaca, since people had been raving about it for weeks! It is a parilla, which means steakhouse. They only have one menu though. You get all you can eat meat (chorizo, steak, roast beef, chicken, etc), salad, french fries, bread, a bottle of wine and a dessert all for 130 Pesos. Its a pretty good deal and it is delicious! We got there really early since I knew it would feel up quickly, which was good because when we left we had to fight a mob of people just to get outside. 

When we arrived at Siga La Vaca I got a text from Georgia, so I assumed she was just letting me know she made it to Puerto Iguazu. NO! She was still in Buenos Aires and been trying to get ahold of me all day. I felt so bad b/c I just got her texts! We told her to catch a cab and she came to join us. Even though her flight to Puerto Iguazu fell through, they still sent her bags, so now she was without bags as well. This has been a nightmare! She got a flight booked for early in the morning. After our wonderful dinner and time together, we walked down Puerto Madero to the Women's Bridge and had a great time! Then we caught a cab back to our hotel. All in all, it was a wonderful day!!! I hope things start going a little more smoothly from here on out.
