Post-Vacation

Reporting from Bs As AT 12:09PM

After the wonderful vacation and the work night right afterwards (on Thursday) I had a nice sleep on Friday and did some at-home time. My boss, Bastian from Urbanicos (Photography gig) called me for a job on Friday. Soon after I told him I could do it,  realized that I left my external flash at the hostel's safe in Uruguay! It was a "argghhhshshhs I hate myself" moment.  I called the hostel and they have it. They said they will try to send it to me... we will see... However, without it, my job would be sloppy and amateur. So I called Bastian back to see what he wants me to do. After searching for an other photographer, he gave me the go-ahead still. In the evening, i went to Casa Bar for someone's birthday and hung out with friends. Afterwards, I visited two clubs for the photography job. It didnt go as bad as I thought. The first club was a Brazilian samba club. I think I am in love with Samba, I want to learn!!! After that, I went to the other side of the town for an other club... I came home around 6am and spent 3 hours uploading the fricking pictures! I slept around 9:30 and woke up at 11:30 to tidy the apartment and get ready for my guests: Michelle and her friend Maria.

They arrived around 1:30 from Chicago, with their winter clothes =) 


(to be continued)

Here is the continuation: Michelle and Maria were amazing company. We had a full weekend... Ate lots of steak, drank wine, sipped Mate at the park, visited San Telmo, Recoleta cemetary and Palermo...I took them to their first Milonga and they seemed to enjoy it. We had an amazing fun cab ride to Recoleta with all the hit songs playing loud and dancing in the back seat! We ate alfajores, medialunas and anything else we found in frequent intervals =)... They came and watched me work while sipping their caipirinhas after a tango show. Overall, it was a very nice time for me.

Thanks for the new author-generated "time stamp"...do you see what I mean about the blogger time stamp...it shows 6:10am and your's shows 12:09pm...even adjusting for time change doesn't resolve the difference...these are the things that pre-occupy my mind and keep me from working =) Are you really in BA...

Happy anniversary...
