New Friends

Learning to ski was great fun. Stu picked it up very easily and was zooming around in no time. By the end of the week we were both ok, but Stu with his knowledge of the snow from snowboarding definitely had the advantage. In the mornings it was often very icy and so not great - those lazy Argies didn´t go out with the plough very much!

We met some great people in the hostel - everyone was really friendly. Stu also tucked into some parrilla - an Argentine BBQ with 18 different types of beef (all BBQ´d though) and always eaten at least after 10pm at night. The wine flowed and the laughter was loud! We made some great friends. Luciana wants to meet up in BA to dance tango, Ximena wants us to go to Rosario for a weekend and Alemo wants us to stay in his father´s hostel at Iguazu Falls. Funniest of all was Camilla and Neil who we had a hilarious time with, particularly after 8 bottles of the worst Argentine table wine from the local tin hut (shop) which got us break dancing and singing Argie songs with our new friends.
