The World is Huge.

Guys. 
The world is huge.

Okay, I know that isn't exactly news to you. And I didn't think it would be to me either... until today.

But... wow.

I was feeling pretty good about how well I knew Buenos Aires, until I got on a bus for a half hour and got off in the middle of the metropolis (not even the other side, just halfway there!) My friend Claudia and I wandered around the Caballito and San Telmo areas for a good five-six hours today and nearly had an existential crisis because... it just keeps going. This city. It's huge. To think that I could walk all day every day for the rest of my time here and not see all of it. To think that it's just one city of hundreds and thousands like it in the world... it just hurts my little brain. And it makes me want to go everywhere--in Buenos Aires, in Argentina, in the world! I just want to see everything. 

We saw so many things! We just kinda wandered wherever our feet took us and found plazas (on plazas on plazas), book vendors, street art, bakeries, beautiful trees, cool vintage stores, an artisan fair...
I just can't even really begin to describe how mind-blowing it was--to know you could walk all day, but your legs would give out before the city would.

Here are some pictures but they still just don't do it justice.

Look at this beautiful day!
