Buenos Aires I

The crown jewl of Latin America was next. Famous for the architecture and the vivid porteño lifestyle. But the thing I was really looking forward to was meeting Victoria, whom I met in Mexico 9 months ago. In Mexico we spent a few days together visiting Mazunte, San Cristobal and Palenque. back then I had a crush on the girl, but shy Timmy didn't make any move. But when she left I felt bad and I bought the skirt at a street stall which she thought about buying the day before. Since then I have had a skirt in my backback (it tends to bring you into situations, that force you trying to explain). After carrying in through 13 countires now the moment has come to give it to her.
But first things first - I checked out the main attractions of Buenos Aires. The cementary of the rich porteños of past times, who had the money to build little cathedrals instead just normal graves. Colorful La Boca which is host to the most caracter filled part of the city. The Centro which is much like any European city, with a Latinamerican twist. The spectacular Museo de las Bellas Artes in Reclota with fine traditional European and more abstract Argentinian art is well worth checking out. I also peeked into the presidential palace aka Casa Rosada, which is nice, but not spectcular. Rizzy Puerto Madreno which caters snobby people with their nose high up. Once we checked out the famous nightlife of Buenos Aires, but prices were high and Timmy didn't enjoy it to much. Guess I'm getting older and wiser (maybe boring), but nowadays a prefer chilling over partying.
So after 2 days I called Victoria to meet up and we met at her place in Palermo. She was the same as in Mexico. The wine I brought along smoothed things and we had a nice time, but it didn't seem like the moment I was imagining to give her the skirt.
Also the next day - wen she invited me for a BBQ with some schoolfriends - Timmy didn't think it was the right time. But since he would be making a detour to Uruguay the next day, he gave it to her. She was really happy about it and remembered looking at it at the stall at the foot of Palenque - but the moment was far less spectacular than I thought it was going to be.
