The One with the Waiter and the Balloon Animals.

(I think I'll start titling my adventures like Friends episodes.)

Café Tortoni
Playing the piano in 36 Billares 


     Sydney and I decided to do something really weird and go to some bares notables.. AT NIGHT. So far we'd only ever gone during daylight hours, and I guess for good reason because a lot of them were closed! We wound up at Café Tortoni--the oldest café in Buenos Aires that has been visited by many of the greats (Borges, Storni, Gardel, Einstein), and holds tango performances in the back a few times a week. Cool place! 


     We ended up making friends with our waiter who said eh actually he didn't have to work, he'd go to the next bar with us instead. Sooo we ended up kidnapping the waiter (who got heckled by his coworkers for leaving with the American girls..), and went to the next café/bar. There was a piano in there and the bartender said I could play it so I did, obviously, and then a random man gave us balloon animals. One of those evenings where you look at your life and just say, "What is happening right now..." which kinda becoming the norm these days and I love it :]
