Sailing Adventure





On Sunday Santiago took us sailing with a group of his friends. Most of them spoke some English, but since we were the outsiders they mainly spoke Spanish to each other, which was actually so incredibly fun to watch and observe. I can pick up quite a bit of what they were talking about.
Sailing was amazing. We were on one of the largest rivers in the world. It was a blast. They brought food to share, most of it was good. Like large white bread sandwitches with mayo, ham, cheese, and heart of palm. Bread slices and salomy (not good by the way) chocolate churros and some yummy cookies. We were also able to try mate for the first time. It tastes like an incredibly bitter green tea.
After sailing we were going to go to the club house to have some coffee, but there was a rugby party going on. We got invited in to enjoy the festivities. They had a live band, fresh pizza, and dancing. Argentine men have the attitude that you will have fun weather you like it or not! They would not let us sit down, they always were passing us around the dance floor and they even made us sing along to a Blind Mellon song.
