Details??

Well Ive always thought the less details the better for some people but you guys asked for details and so details you shall recieve...

Our hostel is awesome. We are staying in the Lime House right in the middle of everything. It is hard to describe the atmosphere of the hostel. Its full of very unique individuals I guess I could say from all over the world. They are all great though, on our first night we climbed up to the roof of the hostel with about 25 others and hungout for many hours. We´ve met Austrialians, some swedes, a couple New Zealanders, a sigma pi from Wake Forest, some english ladies, and a korean lady from Holland living in France...?

We have discovered that many things are quite a bit cheaper here than in the states. Needless to say they know how to prioritize. It seems a bit out of whack with Mcdonalds like $10 and a litre of beer for $1 but we are not complaining. Don´t worry, we´re not spending all of our time drinking beer, vodka is only $4 a litre, and for some reason we can´t seem to wake up any eariler than noon.

People around here are a bit crazy when in comes to driving, Noodle has almost walked into traffic like 10 times because he is too busy starring out into space because his ¨head hurts¨. Gas is only like 70 cents so we can see why anybody and everybody is out on the roads.

Today we went to San Telmo which is supposed to have the best steaks in town (or the world for that matter). We kind of sort of misread the map and ended up walking 10 blocks in the wrong direction, but i was a learing experience. Speaking of learing experiences we have been screwed over twice that we know about and probably countless more times. i.e. we were promissed one price by the taxi driver who then upped the price with all our luggage in the trunk and we ended up paying around $90 for a 20 minute cab ride.

Tomorrow we will be going to the Boca Jr. Futbol match which should be awesome. Apparently it can get kind of rowdy so say a little prayer for us haha. We will catch you up with the details later.

Much love,

Rob, Steve y Noodle
