Wow, tomorrow will be the last week of this trip. It's amazing how quickly it has flown by. There are only 4 days left. Kind of sad actually. These people have become family to me. Today was a really relaxed day. Woke up at 9 and fiddled around for half an hour then went down to get breakfast. Came back up and went back to bed for a few hours. It felt so nice. I thought about it and on my Scandinavia trip, I got really tired on day 12. This trip it was day 13. Justin and I got up and walked around the city a bit just to look around. For whatever reason though the city is mostly closed on the weekends so almost every store was closed. A slight disappointment though it isn't like I'd buy anything anyway. The group was on their own until 8:30 when we gathered to discuss dinner. Barbara had told us about a paella place that was one of her favorites so I had that on my mind. The rest of the group however decided they wanted to go to the same place we got coffee at the day before so they formed a "splinter group" and went off to eat there while Justin, Barbara, and myself got a cab and went to the paella place. It was amazing. Sorry Chivitos, you got bumped. This was the second best meal I've eaten so far after the spectacular sashimi Samantha and I shared. Justin and I split paella and Barbara had the equivalent of paella without rice. It was all amazing. They served us a cocktail of half white wine/half champagne as soon as we sat down and appetizers of melted provolone and salsa with bread. The rest of the group absolutely missed out and I'm going to be sure to tell them tomorrow. My stomach hasn't been feeling the best for the last couple of days so I came back to the hotel to pack (we have to get up early again) and take something for my stomach. Tomorrow we leave for Colonia which Barbara has said is the most beautiful location on the tour. After Ilha Grande and the falls, I don't know if that's possible. But I'm more than willing to check it out and compare. Then in 2 days we roll into Buenos Aires. Everyone is looking forward to that.
