Pressie

If I had to think of one in particular, I guess it would be difficult to give an answer, however, and since I don’t want to be incoherent, I will. I remember one morning on  my birthday that my husband woke me up and gave me an envelope. At the time I thought “What a weird present, is it money?” Then, I opened it and I realized it was a plane ticket. I remember I was a bit shocked; really, it was a plane ticket with hotel and everything to go to Buenos Aires the weekend after. I did no show much enthusiasm at the time since I had been waiting for something different, I suppose. However, I think this has been one of the best weekends ever. I had never been to Buenos Aires before and we had a wonderful time. We went to the typical sights; we also went to a tango club (and tried to dance!). I spent hours in libraries and got a few books for much better prices. I suppose what I liked the most was the fact that people can be so nice there. Being a capital city, I felt it is a completely different attitude towards others. Less hostile, I think.  Also, in general ordinary people in the streets seem so knowledgeable about their history, culture and that is really nice.  I really enjoyed it. Now it is one of my good memories.
Write about a present you received.

What it was,

Who gave it to you,

Why you liked it,

Where it is now.
