Thurs. March 20, 2014 - Day 2 in Buenos Aires

Carlos and I finally rolled out of bed at 1PM. Ivan called to let us know that Carlos's passport is ready and would be delivered between 1-6PM, so we couldn't leave the house until then. But the very friendly delivery man stopped by the apartment complex about 2PM. Juan Cruz came over shortly after to hang out. He went to work for an hour before coming over. We went out walking on main street for awhile. Carlos bought his fracturas (little donuts) and we got Ivan some bath mats and kitchen towels - he's got a definite bachelor pad going on there. Carlos and I hadn't eaten all day, so he made some asparagus wrapped in bacon. Juan Cruz asked, "Que es eso?" The exact same thing that Ivan said when we bought the asparagus. I took a short 30-minute nap while the brothers talked about family stuff. Ivan got home from work about 7:30PM.

We went over to Juan Cruz's house for a little bit and had more mate.

We met Martin at Carlos's bar that he used own about 10PM. We ordered pizza and beer - orange juice for me. Gaston and a friend came for a little bit, but his Gaston's ex-wife Paola was coming with a friend about 11:00, so he took off quickly - they got in a fight earlier. Gaston's brother passed by, so we invited him to come with us. Juan Cruz is a Che follower and Carlos said I wanted to know all about him, so Juan told me a few stories.

We stayed at the bar, getting sleepier and sleepier, until 12:30AM when we could go to El Golf (golf club with a dance area and patio). We danced until 3AM.
