Bye friends ):

It seems I have forgotten you.

            Since our last date many of come and gone.  Last night was a pseudo going away party for many of our friends.  Russia, Colombia (2), Chile (5), Sweden, Norway, Brasil (3), Germany (2), and Israel all left.  England/Brasil leaves tomorrow (he’s a mix).  We grilled hamburgers and smashed beers while enjoying our last night together.  Some had been here for almost a month and others only a couple days but we loved them all.  Now we are left with a fat Chilean family, many awkward old people (who apparently don’t know this is hostel because they keep complaining about the noise), and a couple new cool people.  Three chicanas from California, a Swedish boy, and another Brit just showed up; I’m pleased with the latter two, but I prefer Mexican girls to chicanas.  Still not as fun but soon I will be leaving the party house to live with Máximo (Max, 32 marketing researcher for a Publishing company) and Mercedes (Mechi, 38 free lance graphic designer) who will be my Argentine family.  I am very excited to live with two very young, artful, and beautiful people.  Perhaps I can take their two dogs to the park, but I won’t rival any other dog sitters who will instead have about 8-15 dogs with them, what a sight (see FB picture for reference). 

            I won’t bore you with banal tourist expeditions that were nothing but touristy.
