Finding our way - noche edition

Most people we meet here think we look around 24.  Nothing new, considering just last week one of the ladies at my bank told my mom she thought I was 18.  18!!!

While living here in BA attempting to master the porteno lifestyle, I think we're going to have to return to the mindset of our early 20s.  Por que, you may ask?  Well in short, we are surrounded by energetic and lovely early-20-somethings, who remind me very much of Amy and Caitlin circa 2003.  Not that we are not energetic late-20-somethings, because as you all know, we certainly love a good night out, but let's just say it's been a while since we have thought, "Maybe we should go on a pub crawl" on a Thursday night.  It's a school night for goodness sake!

Yes, I know we need to do what we want to do - and since you know us, you know we will - but clearly it's quite fantastic to live it up in a new city and do as the Romans do.  So despite my rantings to Caitlin last week about how we're a little past this stage, I think I can ditch that attitude and give it another go this one last block of time.

Last night, in the spirit of our new attitudes, we had a very late night that even took us to a salsa club where we were the only Estadounidenses (i.e. United Statesians).  The trick is to take off your watch and go with it.  

Oh - and you would have been proud of the fact that we spoke pretty much only Espanol at the bar beforehand.  It was brilliant!

We are now off to watch Estados Unidos take down Inglaterra in the World Cup.  Felicitaciones Argentina for a job well done this morning!
