Day Seventy Seven

     Woke up feeling quite sick and decided to stay home from class today. I'm almost positive it was because I slept with the AC on all night as for some weird reason it makes people sick here. I've never heard of that in the states but here people say "don't sleep with the AC, you don't want to catch a cold" just like we would say "make sure you take your jacket, you don't want to catch a cold." Anyway, I drank a lot of tea and spent the rest of the day catching up on family emails and the like. 

     By the evening I was feeling quite better so I accepted an invitation to my English mate Sam's house for a little asado. He lives with some porteños and the one named Fernando was in charge of the preparation and cooking of the various meats purchased for our meal. He did an amazing job and we ate till we were stuffed. I wanted a pic of the day but didn't take one as the environment wasn't right for it. It was Sam, myself and these three locals who were all lounging shirtless displaying their finely shaped bellies that indicated that this sort of asado for dinner was common place among the group. As great a pic as this evening could have provided I wasn't comfortable coming into their house and taking a picture the first night I met them. Next time though, for sure.
