Happy 204 Everyone!
Today is April 20th, which in the US is 4/20 (in the rest of the world its 20/4).
Feliz Cumpleaños a Losida
Sorry for the delay in blogging, but yesterday was Losida's birthday. Who the heck is Losida, you ask? Well, she's a lovely gal-pal that we met here in Buenos Aires. No, she's not a former Mexican maid or the daughter of a Latin American Dictator, but rather a temporary ex-pat (like Gav and I) who is from the Grand Canyon State who has been here in the city with us for the past few months. We originally met at the first Spanish school that Gav and I attended (horrible school, but we met a lot of fun people).
To celebrate her birthday, we joined the German ex-pats Celia & Kata and had a fab dinner at swanky Bar Uriarte. I had veal ravioli (yes, I eat veal), Gavin had adado (Argentinean bbq) with grilled veggies and Losida had saffron risotto with braised lamb.
After dinner (and desserts!) we went to see the drag show at Sitges Bar. Gavin and Losida are completely in love with this particular drag queen and I have to agree that the show (complete with a VegasShowGirl type Argentinean woman) is great. Its always fun seeing drag queens a foreign place, especially when they are speaking another language. At one point in the show, the drag queen came down into the audience, threw her scarf in my face (¡la concha de la lorra!) and started to sing to Gavin and I. Figuring out that I didn't know what the song was about (Gavin claims that he understood "most" of the song), she stopped the music and asked if we spoke Spanish. (For those of you who have never had a drag queen stop a show and ask you a question, I can tell you that it's a terrifying experience. I can hardly answer a 6' tall make up wearing man in English, let alone Spanish! ¡Que terible!
We got home around 3am and stayed up for awhile discussing various topics pertinent to our socialite lives. I love birthdays. They are a fun way to tell your friends how much you value their friendship!
Quick! What do get when you throw two guys and a girl into a jacuzzi tub with lots of bubbles and champagne?
You have lots of good ole clean fun!
