Hanging Ten in Pinamar

So I havent written in a while. Sorry, i´ve been at la playa...for those of you who dont know, thats the beach. We thought it was going to be terrible weather bc it rained the whole way here on the bus but it ended up being muy bonito. The bus we took was CRAZY it had two floors. We were on the top floor and our seats leaned ALL the way back. It was pretty neat. We even we even watched a movie that was muy de queso (cheesy) that had Sean Connery and Richard Gere called First Knight. It was ridiculoso.

Our hotel is really nice. We have our own little loft like apartment thing. Pictures to come. The bed has a radio built into it. Its the honey moon sweet, its pretty awesome. Yesterday we spent the day laying out and then Drew and I went to take a 1.5 hour surf lesson for $10 aka 30 pesos. It was so fun except for today the Atlantic Ocean was a little lower because I drank so much of the salt water!

The best part of the surfing though was that I totally fell into the Official Jack Johnson fan club of Argentina. All the surfers were so excited that I had the new Curious George cd. It was amazing. I felt at home. We all exchanged email addresses and they are from the BA too so we are going to try and meet up for a cafe or something in the city. The coolest people were a girl named Anna and her boyfriend whose name I don´t remember. They had just finished surf lessons and took some pictures of us in wet suits that they are going to email us. It was pretty llave (key)...notice the spanglish is getting ever so worse. Soon it will be all espanol and yall wont be able to understand this at all. We also had our first experience with mate...a type of tea that is pretty traditional and like we are pretty good pals becasue we shared mate together. Kinda neat.

Today we have been playing el frisbee and laying out. I had to get out of the sol for a minuto so i woulnt be a total congrejo (crab) tomorrow at school. Oh well, esta bien. Last night we went to a sweet restaurant by the beach that had a saxaphone player. He played tons of Luis Miguel (yeah i knew all the words to Azul dad!) Well back to el sol para mi. I´ll escribir some more when i get home tomorrow. Adios amigos.
