Novecento- where we enjoyed fine beer, fine cocktails, fine wine cause we're fine women!

I'm getting so cheap living in this city.

Yesterday, we spent 68 pesos sending about 14 postcards and were all shocked. I mean, we may be on the same time zone but it is a pretty far trek for them darn postcards.

What it really was, was that our day seemed like it was about to fall apart. We couldn't get money out so we were unprepared when we got to the post office and the sweet, old lady had counted out all of the postcards and stuck all of the stamps on for us so we had to scrounge for the last bit of change. Then it started to rain and Becca's mp3 player stopped working and SarahT almost watched us get hit by a car. These portenos don't give two craps if you're walking across the street, man, there is no such thing as pedestrians have right of way in this city.

So, in order to curb our unfortunate circumstances (I like to look at it as a new and interesting stories to tell) we decided to find the closest bar (although, that took a while at 4 in the afternoon for some reason). Finally, after all of our mishaps we sat down to a good beer. And a cocktail. And a bottle of wine. Then stumbled on to a very American inspired bar for nachos, onion rings and more beers. Then we made it back to our favourite place, Jackie O's, and enjoyed a delicious, very Italian meal. My friends, this whole evening of gluttony came to about 30 bucks each.

I don't know what I'm going to do when I get back to the real world. I'm going to be such a cheap ass when I get back to the Island- $40 for this crap! And to top it off you eat this superior food at the best prices and you still wonder: how are these people so damn skinny!
