Un Mes Despues

Translation: a month later. It also rhymes, just in case you didn't know.Let's see, what have I been doing lately? Well, Point number 1: Buenos Aires Pub Crawl. Probably the most borracha I have ever been in my life but also fun as all hell. We went around to four bars, and ended at a bariloche called LOST where we got to jump the line. Which was also very cool. However, I got lost at lost, and subsequently walked home. Probably better too, because I doubt I could have stayed on my feet for much longer. Before we started bar hopping we were promised "unlimited wine, beer, and pizza!" what this really meant is that we gathered in a plaza and had to fight tooth and nail for all of the above. Mostly pizza though, there was enough wine and beer to go around. At each bar we went to we got a free shooter, and somehow I managed to drink three shooters at each bar...and ended the night with a tequila shot...but it was a total blast...lots of dancing and plenty of good friends and good times. So: Buenos Aires Pub Crawl: highly recommended.



Traveling: I went to El Tigre, which is this little town where people live in stilt houses on the river. I love it. I positively adore getting out of the city. Who knew such a big place could be claustrophobic? Tigre was nice, but just a day trip- we took a boat tour around the river and saw all sorts of things. But in all reality I couldn't tell you much about it because the tour guide spoke in spanish and I understand nothing. Well, that's not true- but I find that listening and understanding spanish is actually physically exhausting. Listening to someone speak for an hour and a half and having to translate it in your head, is positively tiring. Entonces, I have to space out every now and then. And I was enjoying the river, so I didn't want to spoil it with being too tired. Pictures here are a little dock on the river and my friend Nick enjoying Mate on the boat ride, which is not, despite what you may believe, yogurt, crushed up bugs, drugs, or even slightly hallucinogenic. It's just funny tea.





Also: We went to Colonia for a day (which is in Uruguay by the way), and it was so beautiful and quiet and wonderful and I loved it. The end. I want to move there and have children there. I took some of my favorite pictures yet on this trip, and I felt like I was in a dream the entire time I was there. We started out the day with a walk around town, and them met up again to have lunch, and afterwards we went to the beach (a beach on the biggest river in the world, mind you), and relaxed there for awhile, and then walked back to town and had wine and cheese on the pier. Love Ruby's...but it had nothing in comparison to this. I also bought my mother's birthday present and an ashtray that looks like a foot that I adore. My host brother's girlfriend, Ro, also adores it and we both ash it in as a bonding activity. Wow, look at me making friends with ashtrays. Now that's talent. Pictures here: Me in front of a lighthouse-it was one of the first things I saw there and seemed like a good tourist opportunity. Also, a man on the rocky side of the beach...one of my favorites...the sandy beach, and sharing wine on the pier watching the sunset.

Here's a few more because I love them

I swear guys, I'll figure out html soon, or at least find a good template so my pictures are better organized for your viewing.

I love you all so much!  Thanks for reading and leaving love, makes my day.

MUAH.
