And 36 hours later... Hello USA!

DAY 160 - MAGICAL PRINCESS

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A MAGICAL PRINCESS 

WHO STOLE ME AWAY TO A FAR AWAY LAND

ALMOST THIS TIME LAST YEAR WE RAN AWAY TOGETHER

TO THIS VERY COUNTRY AND MANY A MYSTICAL SLEEPLESS 

NIGHT WE HAD! WE HOONED A BOLIVIA, PERU AND A NEW YORK 

TOOO. BUT NOW THE LOVELY FAIRY PRINCESS HAS STOLEN ME 

AWAY AGAIN. WITH NOT A CENT $$$ TO MY NAME, SHE HELPS

ME SPREAD MY WINGS AGAIN! SO MY $1000 ARGENTINA IS TAKING 

A VACATION TO "THE U. S OF A"!!! BUT DON'T WORRY YOUR COMING TO

AND WE ARE COMING BACK HOME TO ARGENTINA IN JUST 12 DAYS!

MUCHAS GRACIAS LAURA "SLIMEY LAZ" WILSON!

THURSDAYS 4EVER!

DAY 159 - "AND WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT LOVE?"

What is this crazy contraption I have stumbled upon?
Call me nuts, crazy or call me just plain old bonkers but I will never forget when I first came across "The Shutters"! I felt like I was in World War Two, or in the Alfred Hitchcock movie Birds and we all trying to  board up the house to protect ours. I imagine someone yelling in my general direction "Quick board up the windows, they are coming!"
Probably my most mind blowing find!

"Just pull the rope in the wall there and Bobs your Uncle... Not once glimmer of light stands a chance of coming in this room until I say it can!"

DAY 158 - LINE UP, LINE UP, LINE UP!

An Argentine loves a good unnecessary single fine 'line up'. Give them any excuse to have absolute disorder in any establishment or area of transport, actually in any part of their daily lives and they are into it. Who needs order and efficiency... If an Argentine system can find the most absurd, chaotic, nonsensical, retarded way of doing something in order to have people waiting around for as many hours as possible - The Argentines will make sure they find it - its right up their ally!

But the one that takes the cake for me, and that you find in some provincial cities, is the line for petrol, a line sometimes extending around the block. And you may ask why? Well the rich kids in the Big Smoke BsAs don't transport them enough petrol. What about the little guys? Guys?

DAY 157 - AND I'LL BE MISSING YOU!

 PILLOW TALK

So this might look all kinky and norty and stuff...
But far from it.. hahaha, well that may be a small lie!
"Lie" being the operative word!
One of the main things I am going to miss about this kind of small town Argentine lifestyle is the "Stop work at 12pm, 'eat a sit down at the table, 3 course lunch' in which you stuff your self silly.. I am talking you can hardly walk, and your eyes are only blinks away from closing".
Followed by the "Excuse me I am off to bed".
SIESTA TIME!

Yes that is right a midday nap, mmmm bed is forever calling my name after lunch and now all my 'dreams' have come true!
Half day work, mega lunch and nap time and then back to work at 4pm - 8pm!

life is (to quote my idol Larry David) pretty, pretty, pretty good!

And the siesta ain't prejudice.. you can lay down a nap any where you bloody well like!

DAY 155 - NUMBER ONE BABY!

So a fancy pants football team from Rafaela - of a 100,000 people made it big time and are now in the primary league up against the the almighty Boca Jrs and the what not. So now that they have their name shining in bright lights, the stadium has had a wee bit of a revamp. They are building bits and bobs here and there, painting and constructing and they even put up a big screen...

Now they just need to learn how to work the damn thing! 

Ha, but you can't fault the team. I don't mean to alarm you but Rafaela... NUMBER ONE so far.

DAY 154 - JUGS JUGS JUGS, JUGS OF BEER... BEER, BEER!

WHAT IS BETTER THAN A TOWN,
A GERMAN TOWN,
WHATS BETTER THAN A GERMAN TOWN,
A GERMAN TOWN IN ARGENTINA.
WHY?
JUGS JUGS JUGS, JUGS OF BEER...
BEER.. BEER BEER!
AND FOOD!
GERMAN FOOD!
But this meal won't satisfy me! Diets are as good as eating paper! give me food and BEER!

But nothing beats an good old fashioned picnic river side. 

Thanks for having us Cordoba xoxo
