Then I took a nice long siesta! :) 2:30-6 or so!! Then at 6 Lucia got me up and Lucia, Leo, Danilo and his girlfriend and I drove to the bridge that connects Roasrio and Victoria across the Paraná river! ITS HUGE!! There is a 10k race on it sometime soon, and I think I will run that! They call all races Marathons! It was really REALLY confusing at first but Now I got it :)
Here is the bridge!
After seeing the bridge and driving around we went to the mall! We just walked around and chatted... got some coke and sat and talked like usual :) As I said I took a LONG nap! I didnt think I had jetlag or anything but it was 8:30 when we left the mall but before I looked at my watch I said to myself, "wow it feels like 5 or so!" I was right on for time at home!! Haha!!
On the way home I saw something that just CRACKED ME UP! We were driving and there were people out on the the streets, and on one street there were two boys. The one from behind ran up and kicked the other one in the butt, then the one that got kicked turned around and raised up his squirt gun and ran after the other!! It was really funny!!
Any way we got home and Lucia told me we had to hurry. So hurry to me means 5-10 minutes to change... hurry ACTUALLY meant like 20 ish minutes :) lol! my kind of hurry :)
So I haven't quite figured out the "dress code" I dont think I have very many "dressy" clothes by thier standards. I wore a sun dress to the bridge but to go out to eat I need to dress up MORE!! haha!! :) No one wears shorts!! Its jeans or a skirt, or a dress! I love looking at their clothes and SHOES! :) Also none of the girls use pony tails... only like clips or not at all. And the girls wear hardly any makeup only mascara :)
We at at this restaurant that makes thier own beer. We ordered a "platter" with like 7 or 8 different samples of beer... about 4 or 6 oz. each and then ordered another platter for supper. The supper included what we would have as hor 'deours! It was just cheese, meat and some olives!! But it was really good.... deep down inside I am CRAVING A NICE JUICY hamburger!! But I will NOT NOT NOT go to a mcDonalds... I dont want one that bad! ;)
The guy on the left is Elise's Boy freind and the one on the right is Leo, Lucia's boy.
From the Left. Me, Lucia, and Elise. The thing sitting infront of us is the beer sampler! :) On in the middle was honey and another was chocolate beer... the honey was good but I thought the chocolate tasted like coffee.
99 bottles of beer on the wall! They make their own behind the "bar" type thing they had HUGE brewing containers ;) When you ask for a check here they DONT separate them out on different tickets so many times everyone just splits the total cost. :)
I was the 5th Wheel tonight! It was kind of lonely, and when we go to places that are loud I can't hear anything. And on top of that I cant understand them most of the time because they talk really fast!! I only catch a few words here and there but social conversations move too fast to follow :)
