My shoulder aches too...
Day 3:
We went up on ski lifts so we could see all the lakes and forest from there. The only problem was I was having a terrible headache so in the first pictures I look...very angry but smiling at the same time. Kind of creepy. Another Argentinian girl took us pictures (which she latter sold, of course) and another guy recorded a video of our visit.
When we got to the top I saw for the first time the 'typical' sheep plushies of the zone, which represented the 'typical' sheep of the zone...only that in the ZONE they don't really have any sheep.
Argentinians.
There were lots of people on the hill, for example there was this Jewish expedition (if you can call it like that...I dunno) with a ton of people. They wanted us to move because they wanted a group picture and we were 'in the way', but then some guy from our group said 'we are Chileans' and they began cheering and gave us more time...it was so weird.
Later we went to see the forest and San Eduardo's chapel...which was nice to look at...but it was closed. I took the chance to take some pictures of El Tronador, which is a huge mountain/volcano 'near' the chapel. It was also the first time we saw a guy selling pictures with his San Bernardo dog. I wanted to buy one but I didn't really have any money. Then we went to this shop were they were selling products made of Rosa Mosqueta...or as Camilo would say Mosca Roseta...or Mosa Rosqueta *lol* Mom had lots of fun there, she put on every free product she found. Fortunately I went out of the shop and talked to a couple teachers that were there as soon as I saw what was happening, hahaha. Of course everybody told me later what my mom was doing...but I know they were all jealous inside, because she was the only one who dared to put on every freebie :P
Going back to the hotel we went to this handmade chocolate factory, which was very small...and expensive. Our guide told us it was cheap in comparison to the other shops, and of course later we realized it was a lie!
When we arrived to the factory the other group was there, and of course we had to wait like 10 minutes before we could get inside. The guy who greeted us on the door said that because of the wait we were gonna get more free chocolate...which of course was a lie. This guy told us every year there was this chocolate contest and that in the end they used to give their chocolate statues to poor children. We wondered where those children were...because Bariloche didn't seem poor_at_all.
Hmmmm.
In the end mom bought a small box of chocolate and I took a couple pictures at the factory. The mother of the Pokemon told me to ask the guy giving the speech about the chocolates if he was available, I gave a nervous laugh and ran away *fast*(the guy was very cute though).
Later our dear guide took us to a restaurant to 'eat'. The thing is that day we were supposed to eat wherever and whatever we wanted to, but he just made reservations for all of us without telling anybody. The food wasn't that bad, but the bathrooms were another story. I wish I had taken pictures; those W.C were...alive. Ewww.
Soledad, Nelly, Mom and I left then and walked for the first time around the city. We went to the Municipality and saw the statues made of wood which surround the building, we also saw the museum, and the library which were all very pretty.
Finally we returned to the hotel, half dead, half alive, we took a shower and then waited up for our dinner. Which of course it was disgusting and we had to fight for our desserts because according to our guide, the other group had eaten dessert 5 times and it was shameful to see.
Anyway, on day 3 we met Raul and Camilo. Well, we already knew of their existence because our guide in a very 'delicate' manner told everyone Camilo had just being operated and needed a better sit. Now that I think of it, I never asked Camilo about his operation...hm...I'll ask him later. The thing is we all had fun, because Raul is very good at telling jokes, as in VERY_GOOD_, and so is Camilo. He is also /b/rother like me...(whoops I shouldn't have said that)
In the end we didn't get any dessert and we all went to sleep early, even though 'guy who had come on to me very straight forward like' invited Camilo and me to go with the others to a pub.
Two reasons:
One: Raul and Camilo were going to go to Victoria Island on the next day and,
Two: we were going to walk around the city with Soledad and Nelly (because the trip to the island was *very* expensive).
So in the end I refused to go...not really, my mom did for me (thanks mom *lol*) and Camilo said he was gonna go...but in the end he didn't.
Before going to sleep I heard people laughing. They were watching the video taken that day in our trip, I wish I had bought it...but I didn't have money and I'd rather eat the following day than watching people running around. =(
***note on the side: nobody believed that I was 25. That made me really happy because I know for a fact I already have wrinkles under my eyes. weeeh.
