Dia 38, Can't Find as Good a Place... 24 de julio

Today was not a very exciting day. I feel as if I say that a lot when I begin my updates, but maybe I can find a way to make it somewhat interesting…

I woke up around 2, yes…in the afternoon. When you go to bed at seven in the morning, you sleep late. I hung around the house for awhile, had breakfast (ha ha, and it was the usual fruit and bread and coffee!). A little after five I went to meet Bridget at the subte and we walked around for awhile. We went to Coto (the grocery store) and since we were both pretty hungry, we decided to make an early dinner, since we were planning on going out again at night. That way, we could eat then, and eat a little before we went out and wouldn’t be too hungry.

We decided on macaroni and cheese and tuna. I know… an awkward combination I suppose. Bridget made tuna salad which I find not too good. =) Serri joined us for dinner and we had a glass of wine, which I couldn’t drink. I don’t know what it is, but I just can not get the taste of wine. It’s too…gross. I know that there are so many people out in the world who love it and enjoy it with their dinner, but I just can’t. I’ve tried red and white wines and sweet wines and not sweet wines…and I am just not feeling it. Garrett (friend from OBU) once told me that I just have to find the right wine with the right food…but I don’t even think I could go through the pains of trying all these wines that I won’t like first. Oh well, so I don’t like wine. It’s not the end of the world. =)

After dinner, Bridget went back home and I decided to take a nap. I mean, we were going back out, I needed proper rest. =) So I slept for about three hours, woke up at 11:30, called Bridget and made sure we were still on.

Saturday is Greta’s last day here (she is in the Expanish program), so a group went out as a goodbye party. I met Thomas and Bridget at the club and we met Greta, Gillian, and some others. Luckily, since we were there early (yeah, 12:30 = early) we got in for free, so that was great. However, the club…wasn’t really that fun. It was pretty crowded, but the music was…weird. And Bridget and I just weren’t feeling it. We hung out for a little over an hour, but eventually decided that we would rather be dancing instead of just sitting around doing nothing. We said our goodbyes and Thomas and Gillian decided to come with us…which probably wasn’t the best decision since Bridget and I had no idea what we were doing. We thought we knew of a place that was pretty close and it was at Plaza Sarano which is basically a place that never sleeps. We finally found the place, but it was twenty five pesos to get in and for some reason we just weren’t motivated, lol. So we ended up going to a restaurant and shared some fries and nachos. Somehow, it ended up being almost four…I don’t know what happened to the time, but it went by fast. So we just decided to go home. It was somewhat of a disappointment, but I guess that when you’re first club experience was as great as my first one on Thursday night, it’s going to be hard to top it. I guess that’s just something I need to accept, lol. But Bridget and I both agreed that we cannot wait until next Thursday and we hope we can get the same crowd going out with us again. It was too much fun. Sigh…

And that was my evening…now, I have been asked about comparing Freddo’s Ice Cream to that of Braums. Well, I don’t know if I can, but I shall try. For those of you who know me, Braums is one of my favorite places to eat in Shawnee, mainly because their ice cream is amazing. =) And, those of you who have been reading my blogs know that I have found an Argentine love named Freddo, an Ice Cream Restaurant Chain. So…how do I compare the two loves?! Ah! I think I would say that Freddo ice cream is…smoother? It’s closer to a frozen yogurt (like most ice cream in Argentina), then ice cream that we’re used to in the states. But…the flavors are different! There’s dulce de leche, and tramontana (which is my favorite, like an almost vanilla, dulce de leche, and these little cookie things), and just all these other flavors that are different than what we have in Braums. I think…though…that if I was just on an ice cream kick, I would pick Freddo over Braums. However, if I wanted food as well, then obviously I would choose Braums. =) I suppose that didn’t help the debate much, but it’s so hard to choose! They are both good! =)

I was emailing my mom earlier and in response to her telling me that she wanted to come visit me here, I said that my family should move here. Mom can work her job on the computer and… (and this makes me chuckle) my dad can do magic shows on the streets and in the subte stations to make money! I haven’t seen any one here doing magic shows! I bet people here would like it! And so would my dad…and Carson can go to school here, just needs to learn some Spanish. =) See?! It would all work out! Ha ha…I wish…but then all my friends would have to move here too, which wouldn’t bother me at all. Everyone: start packing! Lol…

Okay, that’s all I have to say for the day…On to another day, and hopefully more exciting stories!

Chao!
