this was during the day on friday...rue's mom had us over for cake and coffee! she's so cute
friday night, hannah, brett rue and i went to brett's house and had an asado with his family! who, by the way, are all HILARIOUS!! we got there at like 9 and just sat around and talked till the food was ready at about 11. his brother has a 2-month old baby who was the cutest little thing i have ever seen!! after dinner, brett's mom blared the music and started dancing haha and me and rue showed off all of our tango moves!
hanging out in the living room while Martin (Brett's sister's boyfriend) was barbecuing in the fire place..so cool
tango-ing!! haha
brett and rue dancing with brett's mom hahahaha she is so funny
sweet thing fell asleep
everytime some meat was ready, he would put it on this wooden platter and walk around the table and we would just pick off what we wanted...i have never eaten so much meat in my life!
brett and his mom having some bonding time...she was showing him family pictures
theeeeeen saturday, we took buses up to the mountains and went to this camp called 'el puesto'. it was the most beautiful place in the world!!!!! the mountains (not to sound cheesy) were actually breathtaking haha...when we first got there, we hung around the camp and talked and we went on a walk...the weather was perfect, too! we had so much fun walking around with Dr. Supplee who is my new favorite person!! haha she is actually in love with brett and rue...it's kind of sickening. hannah told me that she heard horses gave birth through their butt so i asked dr. supplee if it was true...aaaand she wont let me live it down haha. we had some really funny coversationsons yesterday with her! she also made fun of me because i believed brett's brother when he told me the blood sausage we ate was made with human blood.
our christmas card
roasting the goat!
i looked like the ultimate tourist haha
a puma that the pitbulls on their land killed!
after the walk, we went and sat at the tables and they served us SO MUCH FOOD. it was amazing....and these Argentine dancers came and danced for us, then we went horse back riding!!!! we rode all through the mountains which was beautiful! i think my horse was skitzofrenic...it would walk so slow like it was about to die and then when i would tap it with my foot to tell it to speed up and it would take off past the tour guide man haha. i seriously thought i was about to fall off cause i was bouncing so high...it was a BLAST
look how in love she is!
rylie dancing with the gaucho
the owner of the camp! sweetest man ever
on the bus ride home!
after the camp, we headed back to the city (about a 2 hour bus ride)...everyone took naps on the bus. then, annie, hannah, brett, rue, carlos (guy from hawaii) and i went to this little coffee shop and sat outside and drank some coffee to wake us up. then, we went and got burgers at the Irish Pub which i'm pretty sure were the exact same burgers my elementary school had....not good. but the fries were awesome. then, we ran into some people from michigan who are studying abroad in Chile and just came to Mendoza for the weekend. So, we went and sat outside this restaurant at some tables and hung out with them...it was SO FUN. at one point, hannah and i went to the bathroom and while she was on the toilet, i was messing with the bidet and trying to turn it on. it wouldnt work until all of of a sudden it EXPLODED!!! haha and by exploding i mean hitting every wall in the bathroom...and straight up to the ceiling hahahhaha...we couldnt breathe because we were laughing so hard and we couldnt turn it off for the longest time cause the handle was stuck so anyways, we went back to the table drenched in toilet water hahahaha
we stayed there for a really long time and hung out with the people from Michigan, and then we finally took a remese (taxi) home and hannah spent the night again!
dogs having sex....haha you're welcome
It seriously was the best day ever...very draining though, so it was nice to be able to sleep in today!
until next time...CHAU! (right, mom?)
Do I know you?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, so glad you are able to experience the Argentine spirit. I wanna be there!
