Day 11: Moth balls again

Ok, so I'll get to some new events in a bit but first I need to expand on the moth ball situation in the urinals here. I have found them to be quite entertaining. After about a liter of beer its a fun game to pee on them really hard and try to walk them up back of the urinal....its like one of those carnival games where you hammer the ball up the pole but in this case its a moth ball up the back of the urinal. Last night I held off on the urge for a bit just to see if I get some more pressure.

Anyway, on with new events. Tonight we went to a drum exposition. At first I had some doubts about this endeavor. I envisioned a field full of pot smokers with dreads, swaying in place around a drum circle. Turns out I was pretty close but my hippie genes came out and I really enjoyed the night. Basically, there was a huge open courtyard with a large stage where they set up about 2 dozen drums and other instruments. They had a maestro to direct the rytmns and they really got the crowd going. I enjoyed the experience. It is also interesting that I have noticed that people here are very short. I am about 5-10 or so and I am really tall down here...like exceptionally tall. I can see over most people at the concerts. Its nice.

I was also happy today to finally find a friend who recommended that I not go to Iguazo Falls on the Brazil/Argentina boarder. Its an amazingly large and powerful series of something like 400 waterfalls....probably bigger than Niagara. However, its nothing but a huge tourist attraction. EVERYONE goes and I wasn't really excited to go someplace that everyone goes. I am thinking about trading off the $600 that it would cost me to maybe do Boliva instead. Finally I talked to a nice girl from Brazil who suggested I not go so my decision is made...no Iquazo.

Thats all for today...not sure what is on the agenda for tomorrow but I'll come up with something.
