Locutorio

Posted by Delaney in Argentina, Buenos Aires on October 7th, 2009

My internet at home is down right now. I´m reliant on locutorios and the ubiquitous Havanna alfajores shops.

It´s honestly a bit of a drag, as I´m trying to arrange travel to Salta and points beyond right now.

I´ll fill you in on all the Oktoberfest debauchery and whatnot as soon as I get a reliable connection. Until then, look at the pictures, right? You´ll see highlights from Bierburg and Cordoba, as well as my fascinating trip to the BA Jardin Japones.

Oktoberfiesta y Cordoba

Posted by Delaney in Argentina, Cordoba, Villa General Belgrano on October 3rd, 2009

Oktoberfest was zer gut, and we drank a fair amount of cervezas from some fine cervezerias artesenales. We spun the wheel of fortuna many times and Elisabeth and Adam won with every spin. The tiendas de cerveza actually stopped serving bebidas relatively early (like midnight or so), so Las Norwegas y yo went back to the hostel for a little while & attempted discussion with the 18-year-old Argentinos drinking fernet y coca. And then we went to a nightclub & etc, etc.

Tori and Elisabeth and I went to Cordoba the next day and found a contemporary art museum, which I liked, and a heladeria where I forgot about the metric system and ended up with a whole lot of ice cream (which I ate, thank you very much). We walked through a massive outdoor church service in downtown Cordoba and saw a couple sights while killing time before heading back to the bus station.

And then we got in our fancy bus camas and dreamt the whole way home.
