Day 5- No Hablo Espanhol

Oi Tudo Bem?
So we are now in Argentina, actually been here for 1 or two days. Hard to remember since the past week has been such a blur. We took a 24 hour bus ride from Rio thursday morning that was surprisingly pleasant. Taylor pretty much slept through the entire trip thanks to sleep deprivation and nyquil. George and Ellis passed the time eating different combinations of crackers, cheese, meat and goiabada with a mix of cachaca and mango juice. Fortunately, the bus was not full and everyone was able to sleep in their own row :) We met up with George´s lady friend Sisi (sp?) and her two friends from Steamboat. Taylor and Ellis day drank wine yesterday which led to deep conversations and eventually more drinking later into the evening. Ellis woke up this morning to Taylors legs wrapped around here in a twin bed with George pointing and laughing. There were two more empty beds in the room but clearly it made more sense for us to share last night. The Taylor/Ellis romance was exaggerated today with the fact that it was in fact Dia dos Namorados and we were in the romantic setting of Iguazu falls. Unfortunately our hangovers got in the way of our abiltiy to function and the peak of our struggling was going number 2 on the side of a heavily used public walkway in the national park. Somethings just cannot wait. Of course George was thinking a) that he wish he were fishing and b) that Taylor and Ellis were going solzinho.
Now we are planning our next big moves and it looks like George might actually get his wish. Buenos Aires for Taylor and I and who knows where for George and the Steamboat crew. Either way were all meeting up again in Rio for the June 25th Brasil vs. Portugal world cup match! I hope you all are doing well. Saudades and Boa Sorte with all your summer adventures.
p.s. It is actually cold enough here that they have hot showers! Incredible : )

    I have not stopped laughing, and will likely never stop. The Struggle Scale has just been remade. It now goes from 1 to "hungover, going number 2 on the side of a heavily used public walkway in the national park". It is not possible to struggle more than that. I am so proud of you all.
