Spent the day relaxing and wandering around this wonderful City. It is very upscale when compared to some of the previous cities I have been wandering though as of late. They speak a different dialect of Spanish here, called Castilian. I was just getting to the point where I could converse in Spanish, and now a plethora of new words are creeping into the vernacular, or to be more accurate, I am creeping into theirs. Regardless. I am excited to see this level of society here, modern, educated, first world, and very very interesting. Seems like a time travel from just two days ago when I was in the Andes and people had no heat, windows, running water, etc. Amazing what a well formed, non-corrupt, government is capable of achieving.
