Like the rest of the world

I´m traveling. I´m auctually down in Argentina in a place that isn´t so cliche. So since that last time I posted I´ve graduated from college, decided to go to dental school at NYU next year which I´m really excited about, climbed some mountains in Yosmemite, discovered that I can´t surf even though I´m from california, and flown down here to Argentina. It´s been a while since the last post but now I´ll probably do it more often because I´ll auctually have stuff to write about.
This place is really cool and its a lot of fun to be somewhere south of the equator for the first time in my life. The water spins the other way in the tolit and its fricking winter down here.
Upon ariving I went straight to a cafe and watched some soccer. Argentina wone 5-0 and it was pandelerium everywhere. People are crazy for their country and its soccer team. There´s songs, changs, clothes, and everything else you could think of. People even dress their dogs up in Argentinian soccer dog products. It´s cool to be in a a country that cares about the mundial especially after they win and dominate. Tonight is another game and I´m excited for more celebrations.
My girlfriend Riana and I also went to Sierra de la Ventana about 8 hours out of Buenos Aires. We stayed at an ecological reserve which was basically a ghetto zoo of types. The most interesting part of the stay was when our host came into our cabin to introduce her daughter. Just before comming into our room a monkey had clawed this lady´s hand and as a result she blead all over our room, including droplets of blood all over our dinner table which we were using at the time to eat our breakfeast.
I´m planning on heading down to Patagonia this Friday to go watch some whales. It´s supposed to be cold as balls down there but it should be worth it for the sights. I´ll try to post some pictures when I auctually start taking them. But untill then I´ll just be boring and write.
