There´s a first for everything....

well..... here I am in Buenos Aires now, and again im still loving Argentina. What a fantastic country. im still living off steak for the most part, and enjoying every bite of it. Buenos Aires is a pretty intense city, it basically never sleeps, except the odd place in the afternoon during ciesta. So far we have gone to a soccer watch, museum, japanese garden, cemetary, clubs, and just around. The first for everything really has nothing to do with what we have been doing, but more so about me. I bought a proper old mans pipe. .... for smoking tabacoo!!! A pipe is a lot harder to smoke than one would think, but it was damn tasty my first time trying it. They are hard to keep lit though so I need some practice. Another first as you will notice in the photo´s that i shaved my head (doesnt help that it is a bad pic). the deal was if Matt does a mohawk, than i would shave my head. It feels pretty good being in the heat, but im really not sure if i like it. feel free to throw some comments my head, even if they are negative....hey hair grows back... but im getting use to it now. So hey, soccer game was insane, sorry no pics.... but i will when i get home. rob has pics, and a video. and really there is lots to do here. next week we are off to Uruguay for a few days than coming back to Argentina for Iguazu falls. Ciao chico´s y chica´s









Im I still in South America.....??



Ok, so this blog is about Bariloche, Argentina. It was a very interesting little town, and is known as the sister city to aspen, and rightfully so. It was like stepping into a different world. The scenery was incredible, as we were in the lake district of patagonia, and the town had a very swiss alps feel to it, there was even a bunch of saint bernards walking around with those little bucket collars with the red cross on them. the town over looked a large lake and mountains, and the view from our hostel was really good too. Oh yeah, the town is also known for its chocolate and jams, which was easily understandable.... i have never seen such massive chocolate stores in my life, and ohhhhh delicious everything look. I was constantly walking around salavating. Alright so other than the good food .... oh yeah i tried wild boar, and it was quite nice.... anyways, other than good food and nice views, we decided to rent a Car.... a volkwagen Gol.... not a golf but yes a gol. It was a great little car that we ended up beating the shit out of from driving like 6 hours and a dirt and rock road, but it was worth it. We drove south through the lake district and back north on this dirt road seeing cool wild life like roadrunners, abnormaly large rabbits, huge hawks, horses, cows and sheep. When i drove back in the morning on the is road the hawks had masacared like 5 rabbits.... pretty crazy. oh yeah we slept in the car over night and nearly froze to death, but apart from that it was good.










Steak!!!.... Yes Please

When in rome....... or in the case of Argentina, Steaks will be eaten. My god the steak is sooo good here. So apart from skydiving and rafting which i was able to show you pictures, are a a couple of a big park in Mendoza. We spent this entire day in this park, which is absolutley massive, and we were looking for the zoo, but never found it. Nonetheless we had fun playing with a nerf football, getting lost, eating in the middle of the park... and well thats about it. haha the blogs after this will be more exciting for sure.
