Quick comment

Well, a couple. The only downside of the bus was they served us, slightly after the whisky, something that looked like we were supposed to eat it (had a cherry, a couple of meat-looking things, and an olive, on a skewer) but tasted curiously like bathroom cleaner. Maybe we were supposed to put it in the whisky? Does whisky taste good with bathroom cleaner? 10 bucks to the first person who can give me an answer.

Also, my quick comment is that people love The Simpsons here. Homer, or as they call him "Homero," is everywhere, in statue and souvenir form, including in really quaint historic places like San Telmo, where you´´ll see an old man playing tango music right next to a giant plastecine Homer. Today I heard a cell phone ring that was the theme to Itchy and Scratchy. And while describing one of the Guarani traps, the guide said (in Spanish, to a group of 95% Argentines) "Has anyone seen that episode of the Simpsons where Homer tries to set this trap but it launches the rabbit really really far?" Awesome. And, yes, of course I have. He´s also a fan of The Office and Arrested Development.

Dinner time!

Yes, whiskey and bathroom cleaner...it is called a "Blue Flush" and was invented in 1963 for the annual Plumbers' Convention in Las Vegas. Can you imagine a whole lot of butt crack drunk on that ****?
Love you guys -- keep having fun.
