So we decided to get out of the city and see the BEACH! YES! Mar Del Plata is about 5 1/2 hours south of Buenos Aries and the bus we took was a very comfortable bus. This will be the first time that we see clean water. We got a private room with the sweeds that we met at our spanish school. It was good for a hostel and we had hot water which I guess some of them do not have. The first night we were there we were craving seafood, we thought this is a great place for seafood. Wrong, seafood is not very big here in Argentina. My spanish teacher has never eaten CRAB. Can you believe that poor child. Well we attemped to get some mussels and other stuff and it wasn't very good at all. So I think that Kent and I are going to bail on eating seafood this trip. We ended up finding a bar with good music, cheap beer, and "Super Ponchos" (hotdogs). Marit and Klaus taught us a card game from Sweeden and we played cards at a bar until about 2:30am. The next day we layed on the beach as I soaked up the sun and Kent remained white. =0) We ended up renting surf boards and I took a lesson in Spanish and Kent just snagged the board when I was done. Yeah the water was a little cold. Nothing you couldn't handle with a wetsuit though. Oh yeah our surf instructor made us do some funny yoga excercises to get warmed up. I know Kent was very amussed watching that. Other than that we just drank wine, ate steak, and layed on the beach. I know what a hard life. Oh so we found out that an argentine on a average will eat 1.5 kg of meat in one sitting. That's crazy, but they think it's crazy that we have all the other sides and stuff.
