Weekend Recap

This past weekend was a blast: Friday we had a dudes night (plus gabby) and went to the driving range in Puerto Madero. We rent 5 clubs, broke 2 of them, 3 went flying out of our hands onto the range, and several balls were blasted over the nets onto the neighboring highways and city streets. Despite all this, we got out of there on our own terms and didn't have to pay an extra dime. Don't ask me how.

Saturday a big group of us went to the biggest horse racing event of the year at the Hippodromo in Palermo. It was really neat seeing all the fancy people, studly horses, gorgeous track, and al our people dressed up as well. One of our girls won 160 pesos! Later that day Liz and I went down to Puerto Madero and the Ecological Preserve on our sketchy bikes from the casa. After many close run-ins with pedestrians, cars, dogs, poles, buses, and pretty much everything else you'd find in a city, we eventually made it safe and sound. The panorama from inside the park, looking back at the city as the sun began to set below the afternoon clouds, creating an explosion of golden colors, was the most gorgeous view of any city i have ever seen. The juxtaposition of the lagoons, cat-tails, wild birds darting back and forth, and huge trees with the glimmering windows of the gorgeous buildings of Puerto Madero was simply spectacular. While heading back home, we stopped at a parilla cart and shared a bomb bife de chorizo sandwich.

Sunday was a chill day of podcasts, blogs, hw, and naps.

Monday night I went to La Bomba de Tiempo for the first time, Wil accompanied me. It was one of the most fun things I have done since I've been down here. Fun crowd, sick beats, crazy drummers, mosh pits, and much more.
