Today we had a full day off with nothing planned in Buenos Aires. So my roommates and I wanted to go to the huge pool called Parque Norte. It’s a place where people can come relax by the pool, play sports, or play in the park. We talked to Jackie and Sam who were planning to go to because they knew which bus to take and where it would pick us up. At first we walked the wrong way towards the bus stop, but then eventually we found the right place with Jackie and Sam. We had to wait for about 15 minutes before the bus came, and we were about to give up and take a taxi right when it pulled up. It was a pretty far ride, further than the airport, to finally get there. It was 35 pesos to get in and then we had to go through this weird medical check to get in. They checked our hair for lice, and they checked our toes and fingers for fungus. It actually made me feel better knowing the people have to be semi clean to enter. Once we got in we got some lounge chairs, and the pool was HUGE. It is still a little shocking to see all the women in thong bathing suits, but I know it is just their culture. It was nice to lay by the pool, eat lunch, and nap on a beautiful day. It was a relaxing day off, but then the clouds rolled in so we decided to head home. Overall a successful day!
