time with Mike

Mike is probably leaving on a jet plane by now. I thoroughly enjoyed the time we got to hang out here in Argentina and go exploring in Cordoba. He got to see what life is like for me in BA, play a little of the national sport, and play an extremely long game of basketball against the Argentine Federal Police (hoop there it is), and go to spanish church with me. We also went to Cordoba, and I must say, La Cumbre is a very beautful, green, tranquil and awesome place to chill out. We hiked, swam, read (Mike finished an entire book), ate some good food, and were followed around town by 2 dogs who were from the posada we were staying at.
We saw some interesting things along the way. Apparently they leash cats in Cordoba, iglus are common to build, and toilet designs in this part of the world carry their own design. We were followed around the city by two dogs constantly, they didn't even mind going into restaurants and panaderias when we went in.

Great trip overall, a great Christmas present to see Mike and spend time with him...I'm liking this vacation stuff...
