Last day of the trip. That also means travel day = overnight flight. Due to the cancellation of our flight on Friday, our tour of Buenos Aires was held this morning from 9-1. We went around the city again, but since we did most of this on Sunday, some of it was repetition. We did go back to the cemetery which was cool because our guide told us different stories about some of the people buried there. But my highlight of the day was our trip to
Boca Juniors stadium, La Bombonera! See pictures below as well as more under Day 11 Pictures. Seeing we did a case on Boca in International Marketing, the group seemed to have a much more appreciation for this visit, but I was stoked. Unfortunately, the team is out of town until Feb. so no games for us to witness.
Quotes of the day:
"Did you all know that my dry cleaning was sent to Santiago for cleaning?" - Chris
My last thoughts on Buenos Aires:
Large modern city
Reminiscent slightly of NYC
Fabulous architecture
Many different neighborhoods with different feels
More established, more history and culture
Numerous artisans and sculptures throughout the city
Safer than previously thought
Friendly people
Talent pool is large
Desire to succeed and represent Latin America
Pride
Not as formal as imagined
Lots of corruption
