Seahorse in South America

http://www.flickr.com/photos/seahorseinsouthamerica/

check out that hot mess that is my pictures from my trip all out of order but you can get the idea. in case you forgot what i look like.

The cat is outta the bag now i can let you in a on a little secret between you and me…but dont tell anyone ok? You promise?…. but pinky swear me first……ok.  I cheated on South America. oops. that’s right i went home to America del norte for feliz navidad. and gues what?…….I liked it.  that´s right.

I was a very good girl this year and my present was a ticket to Virginia to make out with the man i love. And eat lots of bacon of course. i got to hang in a house full of dogs, drink lots of whiskey, and eat full meals every 3 hours. pretty amazing. and the best part i quit smoking christmas eve was my last cigarette this is day 5 and im doing really well despite the whiskey drinking. im coughing up little black things. think that is a good sign.

now im back to living in fantasy land in Buenos Aries its been less then 24 hours and i can tell you i want to live here after New York. this is the next stop on the train kids. i found the promised land. its like barcelona only alittle grittier. fashionable like Paris only its better because its Spanish instead of French. Beautiful people walking their pure breed dogs and eating amazing meat all at the same time. the sky is a different shade of blue here and the sun doesn’t set till 9:30. i saw my favorite constellation (the person who knows what is gets the best present from my trip, lets see how well you think you know me) last night and it was upside down because I’m below the equator. hello southern hemisphere.

my first 24 hours in buenos aries have been amazing. i had a picnic lunch of fresh bread and cheese, ripe cherries and argentinien olives paired with some malbec and dark chocolate. i dined in the grass by a pond. then i died little because it was almost too much. all for about 5 dollars.

If Bogota is over run with wild dogs then Buenos Aries is fulled with sun baked well fed cats. the parks are sanctuaries for these happy little dudes they chase butterflies all day and turn there nose up to a free meal because they are fed by the park officials every night. this might be some of you peoples worst nightmare, it just made me miss my babies back home and wonder how fat they are now that im gone.

then i had the best nap of my life the kinda were you wake up every half hour or so. realize you don’t have to do a damn thing laugh and go back to sleep so proud of yourself its the most satisfying feeling. sorry to rub it in.

then i went out to dinner with my new buddies all from California were i ordered a vegetable plate and then processed to eat huge bites of all their steaks. Ive crossed over. It was almost too good. It look me back to my childhood almost. rare steak to me is the equivalent of childhood memories. your favorite summer afternoon, your sixth birthday party, whatever it maybe be just give me a grass fed steak. its that good. i will never eat anything but the best meat you can find now. total meat snob only petite filet mignon cooked perfectly bloody rare and i glass of red wine so deep red it might as well be a cup of blood. and i sat next to a vegetarian at dinner. i have no shame.

after that i watched fireworks and sipped espresso on a balcony over looking the harbor in the new part of the city. then we went for cocktails poolside at the Four Seasons, i really don’t know who i think i am . i sat amongst mounted unicorn heads in pretended this was what hell would be like as i was bathed in red lights and the water looked more like lava then anything . we toasted to our new president and the fact that we can be Americans again. all this in flip flops.

how did i pay for all this with my 28 dollars in my bank account? you might ask…..a beautiful thing called haircuts. i took 1 hour did 4 haircuts and my night was free. i love my life

im going to go hang out by the pool and wait for my momma to arrive so we can drop the ball togethere. happy new years kids! hope its amazing!
