Cordoba, Argentina

After a bus ride that felt longer than it should´ve been (Damn you ravioli!) we made it to Argentina´s second largest city. But as soon as we got there, we left to go to the outskirts of the city to a place called Salle se puedes. This little town´s name is literally translated ¨Get out if you can¨. You could imagine how nice it is.

We were staying with Julio´s Aunt and Uncle. It´s a very tranquil area that has a modest neighborhood. In other words, good for our travel budget. That night, we checked out the nightlife in the adjacent neighborhood that had a few bars. To sum it up you´d be lucky to find a girl over 18. I don´t know what it is there but I think the baby boomer population in Cordoba is between the ages of 15-18 in Cordoba right now. Good for some, not my first choice...

The next day we checked out salle se puedes for a bit, ate some terrible ham pizza and I topped it off with a hair cut. Good thing Julio was there, otherwise I would´ve left with and Argentinian mullet. We were planning on hitting the town hard that night. We ended up going to a crazy place called Inferno. If you end going to Cordoba, go to this place. It´s this rad open air discoteque that is covered with dancefloors and bars. And you won´t believe this, some of the people even speak English. Good for some...definitely good for us.

The last day we planned to do an all nighter because our bus left at 5am. We decided to check out the sites in Cordoba as well. We saw the university that is situated downtown and the scenic shopping district. I even got myself a nice matte cup. Check and check...

The all-nighter ended up being more eating food then partying but we did meet some nice Argentinians. Cole more than anyone, hehe. After we pryed him away we managed to catch our bus. So if you have to ask, yes we pretty much just partied in Cordoba. BUT, I did get an Argentinian cup in Cordoba...so I did do something else....
