Running around

I decided to actually locate the hill that last night led me to the slums.  It's called Parque Lezama and I was actually really close.  The man's name was Pedro de Mendoza and the year was 1536.  I decided since it was light to visit Boca again.  I have a lot more fun exploring the city and following people than going to museums, which aren't free...  But there are limits to my expeditions; today I was stopped by two men who told me not to continue because it was too dangerous.  When has that ever happened to you?  I found it excitingly different and appreciated.  I turned back and went home.

Whenever I don't quite know what to do or have a spare hour I enjoy walking back to the first street I found and enjoying the lively atmosphere.  

            As to be expected in hostels, people come and go.  Today three Canadian girls came.  I was surprised by all the guys I have never seen before asking them to drink and do other seemingly innocuous activities although we all know better.  Maybe I should wear a dress.  Tomorrow the younger German girl is going to send me a message whether I should change hostels or not.  I think it would be exciting to try a different one that isn't far away and the same cheap price of 10USD/day.

I have been thinking about running for the past two days but wanted to make sure I had at least some general idea of where I lived in relation to other places.  I took the leap today and went running.  I was just going to be modest and wear my short running shorts with my shoes.  I think I left one of my orthodics at home and perhaps the shorts too.  Instead I wore my two piece tri suit, I know kind of obnoxious, and my Vibrams.  I actually really enjoyed running in Vibrams for the first time and I could tell the locals did too, you're welcome.  I also wore sun glasses so I couldn't be easily identified.  But that might have been for naught because I was the only person running, and the only person I have seen thus far running through downtown Buenos Aires (there are a couple people I've seen running in Puerto Madero). 

That is all.
