Leah managed to drag me out of the apartment today and we went to some crazy, huge flea market. She made several amazing purchases, but I was too out of it to buy anything. She got a great bracelet for 40 pesos (about 12 bucks) which definitely would have gone for at least 50 dollars back home. Lots of leather things so if anyone has any requests for belts or purses, let me know so I can begin to consider getting them as birthday or Christmas gifts.
The definite highlight of the day was when we were walking back to our apartment and some Argentine guy screams at us, "I LOVE SUDDAM HUSSEIN!" I don't think he was trying to be funny, but he said it so slowly and deliberately that I laughed at him and he ran away. Clearly I'm not blending in with the locals quite yet.
Leah and I saw The Dark Knight last Thursday (a day before the US!), and as most of you probably know, it was everything we could have hoped for and more. Fortunately we had to sit so close to the screen that the subtitles didn't even bother me. Obviously we plan on seeing it again sometime this week, since movies are only about 5 dollars here and I plan on being able to quote the movie in spanish by the time I return to the states.
Still taking spanish classes, still jobless, but having fun. I'll update soon, aka next time I feel like it or when Leah forces me to.
