Day 6 - Travel Day Goodbye Chile, Hello Buenos Aires...

Today is our travel day to Buenos Aires. It started bright and early as we left for the airport at 7:15am sharp for our "scheduled" 9:45am flight. Once arriving at the airport, we had to say goodbye to our good friend and Chilean tour guide, Fran. The airport was extremely crowded and after waiting close to an hour in line to check in, we found out our flight was canceled, bummer! Thank god the next flight out of Santiago was only 3 hours later. Unfortunately for me, I had to pay $30 for too much luggage, which is crap, but whatever. Oh, and I got stuck in a middle seat next to 2 random people, no fellow classmates for me.

Some last thoughts on Santiago, Chile before moving on

• Impression that the world is becoming "flat"
• "long pants"
• stability
• Pride/Proud culture
• Potential 
• Regulation
• Partnerships
• Friendliness
• Long-term goals
• Global economy 
• No need for Expats
• Good service
• Much more advanced than we thought
• Great food
• Tie zone changes and importance 
• Truthful and opened

Once arriving to Buenos Aires, the group went straight to a LATE lunch, i mean we ate at 5:30pm @ a place called La Bisteca Restaurant where I had fried mozzarella, white salmon with a potato pancake and chocolate mousse for dessert.

After lunch, we were finally able to get back to the hotel for a quick shower, but left immediately for dinner, ha, yes, dinner at 8pm @ Carlos Gardel a Tango dinner show. See pictures on the blog. Most of them are pretty dark, but gives you a feel for some of the things we saw while there. Other than the fact that they hurried us through our dinner, the show was pretty good. It was definitely for us tourists, but again, I thought it was good. Oh, and we had front and center seats. The dinner was really good too, but I think everyone was pretty full from lunch. 

A small group had a night cap once arriving back to the hotel which finally ended our first day in Buenos Aires at 2am, long day for sure, but worth the wait. Talk tomorrow. A tour of the Tigre River!
