Quillmes Bock: 40 ounces + me = happiness ;)
Shiner Bock (Texas) has been my favorite beer since the night I tried it. Quillmes is an Argentinian brew. It too is fantastic. We went to eat, and waited too long for bad food. But I had a great night! The beer, my pizza was tasteless - which is better than tasting bad, the waitress and I were becoming fast friends, and I meet some local guy. Plus, I almost rescued a cat (but turns out people here don´t like you climbing up the side of their house - who could have guessed?!) Anyway, I think the point of the story is just that I really like bock beer overall. I don´t really know what bock means/is, but I like it and that is enough :)
Also, I have a visa to get into Brasil. I will have to either renew it or can my flight in order to get back to the States, but I am looking forward to that learning adverture. It is so much fun to me to experience how to live in new places! I am picking up on the Spanish(note on that - it is easier after you have consumed some alcohol). And I seem to do just fine getting around even with hardly any vocabulary; of course it helps that many people here know at least a little English. A lot of it is pointing and body language. Good stuff.
Alright, I have to get some reading done. Mom, Dad - I´ve been getting your messages (some of them, not 6!). I meant to call yesterday but more or less ended up playing mother hen to a group that went into Buenos Aires to check out the law school (HUGE!!! but I like U Idaho much much much better). I typically accomplish so much more when I travel as just me; that´s how it goes, though. So, I will be around and hopefully you can hear my voice soon... I am fine and having a blast - so please don´t worry! :)
besos y abrozos
