Still no internet...

HOLA! Still no internet, but hopefully it will be up and running by tomorrow.

We went out Wednesday night to our new favorite bar, the Alamo. Girls drink for free until midnight and don't worry, Leah and I took advantage of it. It got to the point where we would be sitting at the bar and set down our not even empty cups and the bartender would grab them and fill them up.

We saw some familiar faces, including a guy named Peter from Texas who personally knows Matthew McConaughey and told us several horror stories, all portraying him as a serious asshole. I was devastated for about 5 minutes, than remembered that terrible "Fool's Gold" movie and got over it. We also made friends with a bunch of Argentine girls who wanted to practice their english and told us which bartenders were "fun" and which were not. Apparently it's very difficult for foreign girls to make friends with the natives, so I felt pretty accomplished at that point.

Luckily for me, not only did the TV show the Brewers game (tough loss guys), but I got to enjoy the sensational Detroit Tigers win. I was drawing a lot of attention to myself when the game went into extra innings, but pretty soon I had a group of people cheering for my team, even though they probably had no idea what was going on. I can tell football season is going to be AMAZING.


Spanish school is going pretty well. Leah and I had a very intense conversation over lunch with two british people about which was better, rap or techno. They said techno was easier to dance to, which makes no sense to me, because I think techno just sounds like noise. In the end we agreed to disagree, but the Austrian guy who was eating with us probably just thought we were all crazy.

We are off to harass more people tonight. It's really funny not having a phone. People get pissed off cause they can't get your number, and then there's an awkward e mail exchange, but its so much easier to ignore mail than phone calls.
