Don't cry for me Argentina

After a couple of bruises on my leg and butt, a semi-sliced open middle finger, some mosquito bites, a full stomach of some of the best meat ever, some red teeth from the wine and 10 cents left of some Argentina money, I arrived safe and sound back into my house in La Serena, at 6 in the morning... only a couple hours until school starts and the teaching continues.

Best part of Argentina, the bike tour. We decided to take a wine bike tour. You pay to rent the bike and then take off with only the knowledge of a obscure map that really makes things look closer than they are. An hour and a half later we arrive at our first Bodega. We slowly make our way back stopping at as many as possible. I for one know nothing at all about wine, which made it all the more hillarious and interesting to watch all these people taste wine. Copying them only seemed like the correct thing to do so it could make me look more like a professional. I dig my nose into the glass and close my eyes acting as if I can ever smell a difference, I proceed to take a sip then say, yes that is quite good. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat.

We met some really cool people along the way, two huge rugby players from England who decided to try the tandem bike, quite the sight to see if I may add. We also met a guy named Mike from Switzerland and a another guy named Stewart from Manchester. Some of the best parts about traveling is meeting so many cool people who a lot of the times have the same interests as you and have great stories.

Argentina is known for there great meat. It is tastey, there is a lot of it, and it is super cheap. The odd thing, no one eats meat during La Semana Santa. So on Friday I decided not to eat meat and I had some amazing salmon. It was so good that my friend Elizabeth, who claimed she didn't like salmon, tasted it and says "Wow, I like Salmon!"

Overall very fun trip, beautiful and very nice people, very clean place. As for now, I am super tired after 13 hours on the bus and teaching classes this morning. Lunch awaits and one more class then sleep! Chao
