After a long week and a busy Friday, which started bright and early with a clinic run by Mariana, a back on Argentina´s national team, everybody needed a bit of R and R. Sammy led us on a recovery-run-tour of the neighborhood she has come to know so well. Well, mostly recovery run - apparently there are no leash laws in Argentina, and some of the mutts don´t take too kindly to tourists, so we did incorporate a bit of sprinting.
After showering and a buffet breakfast, we went to Recoleta for some shopping in an open air market. The team managed to purchase roughly our weight in souvenirs ranging from (Christmas spoiler alert!) hand painted copper plates to bracelets to backpacks and other local wares.
From there we traveled to Saint Catherine´s to watch Mariana´s club team play and grab some lunch. We were lucky enough to witness three national team players in action, playing for two of the best clubs in Argentina.
We came back to the hotel and had a bit of time to nap before heading out for a team dinner - one that started much later than most American meals (9 PM is considered early for dinner here). Most of us ate - surprise - steak. Any cows left in this country? Doubtful, with the way we´ve been eating. We had a great time and even got to sleep in a little on Sunday before heading to the Estancia Santa Susana - more on that soon!
Besos,
Semita and Helenita
