Pinamar, Argentina

Kites, and boards, and beaches, oh my!

so dustin and i took our first (and for him, last) kite surfing class. it's kinda fun to be blown about with what amounts to a snowboard strapped to your feet, yet not be cold. i could definitly get into this, especially since i know where they do it in vancouver (as does anyone who's climbed to the top of the squamish chief and looked down). only thing is, none of my friends kite-board. there must be some online forum thingy to find people to do this with...aubrey?

we went 'downtown' at night, had a green drink on the beach, and met some locals. one in particular was telling us about this crazy 90,000 people international party, and how the best one was (obviously) in argentina. creamfields it's called. so car, it'll be om --> shambhala --> burningman --> creamfields. sounds good to me, lukas, you down?

dustin met a bonified rugby star (*gasp*) who invited him out back in buenos aires. the power went out completely. was kinda neat...people milling around not really knowing what to do, you can't go dancing when there's no electricity to power the huge speakers and light systems...we got a lift from these dudes with a dvd player mounted in their car, and they were showing (drum roll please) a maradona video. the power did eventually come back on, but i opted to chill on the beach instead of going into Ku, the nightclub about 100 meters from our tent - i'd been there before, and didn't feel like it.
