Over the course of the last few days there has been a good sampling of the world passing through the hostel. From a very talkative girl from Austria, a couple groups of Brits, a Swedish family, a guy from the Baste county (I may have the spelling wrong), a few chileans, a large collection of Brazillian guys, and a few French. There are others that I am forgetting, but I´ve only been on the road for under a week.
I am kinda lamenting not bringing a small laptop as there is pretty much always a queue for the two computers they have here. There is wireless though. I am happy that I packed pretty light, and haven´t discovered anything that I really wish I had. Anything I don´t have, I can do without and it will just add a bit of adventure to the trip.
We have had two asados in the past few days. Asado being a barbeque, though Argentine style. Beef, Chorizo, onions, salad, potatos, and yuka (I think). Not to mention the wine and beer. The first one was a blast with a good sized group of people that were all having fun. The second one was tonight, and while fun, was overshadowed by how loud the music was. Too loud to talk. The food was good though. Both were done on the roof of the hostel.
I found a few of my friends the other night. I went to the Spot to start and changed bars with my friend Pato. After visiting Shamrock, an Irish pub that has a dance club in the basement. We drank Guiness. It was good. From there we went to another bar where we met up with two of my old friends, Dario and Javier. Dario was a bartender for Henry J. Beans back in the day, and knew all the Marines. Javier was and still is a DJ that we all knew. The group of us ended up going to a few dance clubs in Palermo. I got back to the hostel at around 6.00am.. I was pretty useless the next day. I was suppose to go to thing with Dario, but ended up not doing anything at all.
Today, I spent a few hours and walked a few kilometers trying to find the Bolivian Consulate. I need to get a visa before I got there. Well... I will try again tomorrow.
