the tenador libre is my best friend
i hope yall appreciate what i do fer you..the computers here are crazy and slow and it just took me like an hour to try and make an underscore, funny cause i was just cursing the keyboard cause it wouldnt make a question mark then when i tried shift and the button marked underscore i got one, so i figured maybe if i hit shift plus question mark id get an underscore and sure enough it worked and i was able to log on and write you my little blog about what im up to..
so...
my impatient travel companion left a few days before me so i travelled to ba alone on a 22 hour bus trip. along the way i made a few friends who include the older gent seated next to me, the very small very old very cute old lady across the aisle and the argentinian child in front of me who found all of my facial expressions unbelievably funny and didnt necessarily require a response to his little kid lisping slangy argentinian accented spanish commentary about rocks and dinosaurs and so on...
it was a long ride. but the people are infailable polite and kind so i felt pretty at ease, going up into the mountains was the kind of breathtaking that makes you not pull out yer camera cause youd rather gape and grin which is what i did...
at the end though i just wanted to take a nap...we all bade our farewells, the old lady kissed me and told me to be careful and called me mijita and the kid stopped chatting with an excited family member to say goodbye, the old man wished us all good journey and my ass was in buenos aires
so sleepy self hopped in a cab and headed for the hostel where my lil buddy was fast asleep...even though i was sleepy it was hot as fuck on the 3rd floor of the hostel and i wanted to see the city so we headed out to sightsee
we wandered and took pics, saw people dancing tango on the streetcorners in la boca and headed to our local tenador libre for a late lunch...its basically just an all you can eat buffet but the food is great and its like 4bucks us
that night we went to a tango show, where amazing singers and dancers performed in a smoky club with pictures of composers and singers and dancers covered the walls and the tables were draped with marroon...we drank champagne and smoked and at the end of the show the dancer dudes totally made us get up and dance with them...
by this point we were a little drunk so we returned to the hostel looking for a roomie that chick had had drinks with, un tal danny, a really cute swiss kid, actually not a kid since hes 27 and works in a bank but he is all blond with glasses and mild sarcasm catchai...so anyway he wasnt there so we left a note for him to come meet us in this club...we headed there and he eventually caught up with us and we got a little crazy on the dance floor, since the chick and i like to sandwitch chosen cuties we basically just freaked that kid...we couldnt help it, it was this perfect harmless sitch and we just loved us some danny...so eventually we all stumbled our drunk asses back and i climbed up into the top top bunk, there are two beds below mine where sleep danny and his mom who is chill as fuck...
next day...
more sightseeing, churches, cemetaries, statues, they are definitely big on statues here, they dont bother much with little ones and why would you, whats the use of a little statue if you can put up a mondo enormo statue whatelse beautiful architecturea little shopping and the whole hot hot fuckin hot thing...i dont think
i have ever experienced this kind of heat...whole place reminds me a little of nawlins but like a huge latin american nawlins, its the fuckin humidity, and the balconies, and the people dancin in the streets, although that is confined to a certain famous for tango area...and then theres the mysterious and random big ass drips of water that seems to be the buildings sweatin on you...
i mean it is seriously hot, we have given up pretense at modesty to sleep in our panties, besides danny mom chica and i there was red, the kiwi who left yesterday, plus the really tall serbian dude, and the french couple but they left this morning...
good thing too cause it got ugly last night...it was reds last night...
he had this reddish beard so i asked if i could call him red and he said no...
anyway it was his last night so we all headed to an irish pub, i dont really know why an irish pub but thats where we went along with red danny chica the girl from spain and the argentinian girl who is a lawyer...they all started drinkin tequila shots and by the end of the night i had lost all of em but gained a big cup of frutilla con crema...which was good
this morning i tried to put it all together what had happened but the chick wasnt really in shape to talk and the person in reds bed wasnt red who left for the airport at like 5am about the time that we had nearly all gotten back but instead was cecilia the lawyer who had locked herself out of her room in the middle of the night wearing nothing using the bathroom and come in cause the door was open...it was all very confusing but we all got through allright. i handed ash the trashcan to puke in and balled up her bedsheets which were reaaaaal fucked up...with vomit, thats right she puked on her own pillow, and apparently pissed in front of a big hotel on the way home if danny is to be believed...anyway we eventually got her into a standing position and over to the tenedor libre for some food...
we love us some tenador libre.

I, for one, really appreciate the lengths you go to in telling us yer stories.
And what stories they are. For a guy living vicariously, pretty much coulnd't ask for more, I'm thinking.
Once, a woman I was dating came over very drunk, drank more with my roommates, and then proceeded to pass out and throw up in my bed. Cleaning those sheets, and the bedding, and just crossing my fingers that she didn't die and that I didn't have to get a new mattress--not as happy a memory as your taking care of ash seems to be...

now thats just rude...we felt so bad we wrote a little note to the housekeeping staff, and believe me, i just make it sound upbeat, but actually getting her food was fun, she was like im sick i can only eat green things bring me cucumbers and melons...
