My time in Buenos Aires flew by. Before I knew it, I was jumping on a 20-hour bus to get me to Santiago, on the other side of the Andes, where my flight to New York was leaving from. During the bus ride, we crossed the border into Chile early in the morning, while driving over a pass through the mountains. It was a really beautiful (and cold) border crossing. This photo doesn’t come anywhere close to showing how pretty the area was, but I couldn’t stroll too far away from the immigration office to get a better shot.

My last Monday in Buenos Aires, I went to La Bomba del Tiempo, a weekly percussion dance party. Basically, a big group of drummers play a variety of drums simultaneously, lead by a conductor. Each week, a special guest is invited, and for part of the show the guest performs with the support of the drummers. The week I was there, an electronic music group called Klauss was featured. The show was great fun and I would definitely go again if I went back to Buenos Aires. It only runs from 8-10pm, so it was a great way to start off one of my last nights in the city.

Street art in Palermo, Buenos Aires. Sort of looks like Alice Glass of Crystal Castles?

I spent Sunday “morning” (technically, afternoon; but it felt like the morning because it was when i woke up) wandering around the San Telmo street market. I found two different bands playing on the street, each consisting of 4 accordions, 3 violins, and a stand-up bass. I guess that’s what the kids are into these days. At least down here.
