Ok, the title's a little exaggerated but I'm sure you get the idea.
This past weekend I trekked to Villa General Belgrano along with 13 other Fulbrighters and their significant others and friends. We stayed in super awesome cabins (I highly recommend A y M Chalets, where we stayed - better even than home!) and we attended
OKTOBERFEST!!!
The biggest beer festival in all of Argentina! I bought a .75-liter beersteiner and a funny hat and all of us drank loads of ridiculously overpriced artesan beer, which was ridiculously worth it. All the major colonias and colectividades of the interior of Argentina were represented in a long series of parades and dances: German, Austrian, Polish, Swiss, Swedish, Irish, Palestinian, viking (I'm not making this up!)... I got a photo with the viking, como dios manda.
It was great to soak up the sun and beer, and be with some of my favorite people around. We also hiked up the sierras cordobesas and I laughed about the cántádító córdóbés people speak with over there.
Abbotts and Rowleys, know that I upheld our family honor and, in Matt's stead, did a Russian dance to the polka music. My kneecaps are recovering.
Oom-pa-pa,
