I didn't wake up until past 11am. The breakfast service had stopped, and the receptionist was so apologetic. I told her it was OK, I was heading out for a cafe con leche and a medialuna (croissant) anyway. I find this place that is part internet cafe, part Asian themed coffee shop. Order, sit down, and a few minutes later, comes a tray service not unlike those at Funnel Mill. I was surprised as she brought over two croissants. Anyway, I sit there, use the computer a bit, and enjoy my brunch. Total bill? AR$9 (less than US$3)!
Next, to take care of the business of the day. Two things I have to do-- buy a SIM for my phone, and withdraw more money. The latter is quite easy. Once I hit one of the major streets, there are plenty of banks. The former, a bit more troublesome. After winding around everywhere, I finally find a place that sells a SIM for Movistar. I needed Movistar because they are known to work for iPhones unlocked using yellowsnOw. So now I have a phone. The number is 11-5949-1529. Don't ask me how to call it. Argentina has a screwed up system where the prefix changes based upon where you're calling from. Here's a page on the info.
Thats it for the day. Just resting up now, and waiting for the phone to be activated so I can add money to it.
