my many fans (counted on one hand) have been emailing me about updates and living vicariously through my blog. well, i have a blog post ready but the space key on this keyboard is annoying and the Internet cafe is overpriced.
i will have at least two posts, maybe more, ready and posted tomorrow after i arrive in uruguay. i also hope to have some photos online. in the meantime, here is a list to tide my fans over.
most memorable to date
1. boca juniors soccer match at la bombanera; the atmosphere puts any sporting event i´ve attended in the united states to shame. the fans sang the entire match and i think they moved it´s foundation when riquelme scored the equaliser with boca playing with only 10 men
2. renting a bike and cycling wine country near mendoza, argentina.
3. birthday party for my host father in buenos aires. the spread of food was amazing and the family welcomed me as one of their own.
4. taking a ¨shower¨ under one of the waterfalls at iguazu falls. i purposefully didn´t take a shower that morning.
5. steak, steak, steak. the argentines love their beef and know how to cook a great steak. puts nebraska beef to shame.
