Well, I made it without incident to Bariloche. The bus rides were easy and uneventful. I spent my first afternoon in Bariloche walking around the town and finally settled on a bar called the Map Room where I pulled myself up to the bar with my Argentina travel book, ready to plan my trip. Next thing I know, I am engaged in conversation with two guys and a girl from Ireland. Their company had just been closed and they were traveling on their severance. We all bitched about the thin snow on the mountain and the fact that Bariloche is famous for their night clubs but due to the swine flu the Govt has closed them through the end of the month. We decided to hook up to rent a car on Saturday to drive the lake district and that the next day, today we wouldn't really plan anything. I love the Irish and at the same time I hate the Irish. At least I was hating them when I spent all day today sleeping off a hangover. We started at the map room enjoying some nice craft beers, porters, stouts with some irish whiskey sprinkled in there. Around 2 we decided to go grab '1' more beer at the only happening night spot that was open. That one beer turned into about 4 more. The bar was quite a happening place especially for youngsters, most of them looked amazingly young but all looked amazingly hot...it was nice. Anyway, we enjoyed the scene until about 6 in the morning when I stumbled home, ate a loaf of pound cake and passed out. The hostel staff woke me up at 11 as requested because I wanted to the tour de france on tv..yeah that wasn't happening...i slept till about 6pm..and finally was able to go grab some dinner and see the sun set on the lake. Tonight bowling in on tap with my Irish friends and tomorrow we do the car rental when I can really see this place. Bariloche is very nice...definitely a high class ski town. Lots of expensive shops, restaurants and beautiful people. Looks like I'll stay through Tuesday morning and catch my last bus to Bs As.
Thats it for now....keep on trucking
