I am writing this post from Recoleta, Buenos Aires, Argentina! I arrived early this morning at about 8 AM local time and took a 40-minute ride from Ezeiza Airport to where I’m staying closer to the heart of the city. I did not get as much sleep as I had hoped on the flight, so I took a short nap almost as soon as I arrived at where I’m staying. Then, I decided to grab dinner at a local cafe/restaurant called Pepper. It was about a 5-minute walk from my Airbnb. I love making milanesas at home, so I was super excited to try one here. It was DELICIOUS! It was a steak milanesa with ham, cheese, and marinara sauce on top served with fries. I do not believe I am fluent in Spanish, but I am super impressed with how much I am understanding and speaking while here already. It may not be the best, but I am getting my point across! I just finished showering and cleaning up a bit. I plan to go grab some groceries tomorrow morning and finish unpacking before finalizing some upcoming plans for the week. I found a tour about the history of women’s rights in Argentina that I thought might shed some light on my research, so I am looking forward to this! I plan on documenting trip details through TikTok and Instagram, this quick video follows my day 1 and 2 flights.
