After the bee incident, I moved to a new hostel called Damajuana. Its on a better street, with better facilties and a swimming pool. In short, it rules. My spanish has gotten markedly better, and I´ve spent entire evenings of conversation only in spanish. It´s really fun. I lucked out and had a great spanish teacher this week, a really funny guy from Buenos Aires. I now know a few bad words I didn´t before as a result.
I also met an Irish guy last night at dinner whose uncle owns the Primo Grill on 6th Ave in Tacoma. What are the odds? Spent today running in the amazing park they have here, followed by a tango lesson, then an afternoon meal with some Israelis travelling after finishing military service. I´m about to put on my mancapris and do some reading, just thought I´d post to let everyone know I´m fine. Also, will stay here until Tuesday, at which point I will go to Bariloche in the south. Have been invited to a party by my tango teachers on monday night, which should be a lot of fun and great spanish practice, though not sure my dancing is ready for a party with the locals. Will try to get some good photos.

How was the party?
Inquiring minds wish to know.
Dude -- keep it coming. Here is a funny joke I thought you would like... truly American in nature.
Three dudes, a Canadian Farmer, an Islamic Militant and a Texas Rancher are sitting in a waiting room. The Farmer sees a cool pot on the coffee table, picks it up to admire it and POOF, a genie appears.
The genie looks at the three men and says, I have three wishes to grant, and I will give each of you one.
The Canadian Farmer says, I own 4,000 acres of frozen tundra, I want my land to be fertile forever.
The genie snapped his fingers and POOF, the tundra became fertile.
The Islamic Militant then said, I want you to build an impenatrable wall around Iran, Iraq, Syra and Saudia Arabia, so that no American Infidels or Jews can come in. I want the wall to be 1,000 feet high and completely indestructable so that nothing can breach its barrier. I want it to completely encompass our lands 360 degrees, so that we are protected from all sides.
POOF, the wall was in place.
The Texan then said, "now genie, tell me about that there wall you just poofed, is that thing truly air tight?"
The genie replied, of course it is, nothing can break the wall, it will keep everything in - in, and everything out - out.
"Good" said the Texan as he kicked back and cracked open a beer.
"Now fill'er up with with water would ya genie ole boy!"
