After breakfast we went to Morón with Horacio to go Boli-shopping. Apparently Bolivians here have the inside scoop on getting good, name-brand clothes cheap. There are several Bolivian-run shopping places where you can find Adidas sports clothes for a fraction of the price that you would pay elsewhere in the city. We only ended up getting a gift for Liam, but I’m sure we’ll be back at some point since it’s pretty close. We ate a quick lunch and went downtown to Recoleta again with Gisella and her friend to an art museum called Malba. We took the train downtown and a coletivo, or city bus, to Recoleta. The coletivos here are insanely busy. We’ve ridden in them 4 times now and I have yet to actually get a seat on one. Kristin and the other girls fortunately got seats on the ride back to the train station. We took the train back to Castelar during rush hour, and the Vivares family had always told us how bad it was to take the train then. Fortunately for us, we hopped on a train that only made one extra stop on the way home. We all had seats, and it was our best train experience yet.
