Also the headline of the Independiente game had to be continued, if you're already in the capital of football.
Otherwise, I was in a bad state after a wild night. This morning, there was suddenly someone else in my room, but I didn't notice it thanks to my mega earplugs (what if there had been another fire???)
I was lucky to quickly get tickets for Ca San Lorenzo's game against Estudiantes de la Plata today (that was the announced surprise, thanks to LandingPadBA.com). Today, Santiago and I went to the game (he's actually a Boca fan). San Lorenzo is definitely one of the best fan-wise in Argentina. They have very beautiful rhythmic, melodic, and diverse songs and sing constantly. Unfortunately, the game ended 1-1 and San Lorenzo is struggling against relegation. Again, a nice stadium focused on the essentials, good view, steep, one tier, no scoreboard or anything distracting, people who are involved and loud fans. Unfortunately, only max. 1/3 full. However, in an area where you shouldn't turn the wrong way alone.
The game was so-so, a total of 3 penalties, one missed by San Lorenzo. In our country, one would probably say 'tactically influenced' and 'lived from duels'. I also met a lion from Munich who had tickets for the final and at least didn't want to return to his wife in Rio without a game. Well, you probably have to have a Brazilian woman as a wife who understands this crazy football stuff.
Now there's a specialty, a FernetCola. If I survive this, I will get up very early tomorrow, 04:30am, and rush to AEP Aeroparque (that's the other airport here) to catch my flight to El Calafate Patagonia. 3 hours to the south, which would be the north for us. Bye Bye, Adios, and Ciao Buenos Aires, you're a beautiful and crazy place, I like that.
Aunt Edit says: it tastes like it sounds, when we were kids, our parents used to say 'it has to be like this, it's medicine'!
Bye
