Count Chocula vs. Silly Rabbit

I have to admit, since I have been in Buenos Aires, I haven't done much. And it is AMAZING!

My hosts, Jynx, Josh and Katie have been overly hospitable, and are probably getting extremely sick of me. Hell, i am even getting sick of myself. To counterbalance this, I just buy copious boxes of cereal and they tend to forget that I have overstayed my welcome by about 8 calendar days.

Soon after I started crashing on the extra trundle bed at their apartment, another friend of theirs, Denver Dave, moved in to occupy the couch. Denver Dave is a recent college graduate from Bucknell, where he played tennis and excelled at making absurdly offbeat comments. He has carried his craft into present day, as he gave me a Chilean-like beatdown on the tennis court the other day, and contends that professional cereal eaters lose their pro-certification-card the instant they eat a chocolate based cereal. The debate burns on.

One of the touristy things I have done during my BA stay, was visit the grave of Evita Perron. (don't cry for me Argentina lady). She is laid to rest in one of the most spectacular cemeteries ever, as each person buried in the cemetary is given their own elaborately constructed and decorated house/tomb/crypt looking like one of Gaudi's spanish masterpieces. Apparently, only the massively rich or the famous are buried here. Madonna should have no problem.
