Soooo, I wen’t to South America
By Kenny | May 30, 2009
I’ve been trying to get to this post for weeks now—I’ve already been back for almost a month. But yes, my brother and I took a trip to South America from April 23rd to May 5th. We traveled to Asuncion, Paraguay and kicked it with our awesome friends for a few days. Then spend the second half of the trip in the uh-mazing city of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
For the sake of moving things along on the terribly outdated blog, I don’t think I’ll post detailed info about the trip just yet. There’s so much to show and tell and I don’t have the time quite yet to get into it all… plus I want to post all my photos to Flickr to help tell the story. So bear with me. But I will say that it was one of THE best experiences I’ve ever ever had—ever! I’ve truly missed being there ever since I got back.
Some quick highlights though:
- Hanging with my good friends in their beautiful country
- Asado, asado and more asado
- Finally trying tereré
- Attending a Super Clasico futbol game in Asuncion. Riot police lining the streets and dividing the stadium in half so the fans of the different teams don’t “interact.” They even had to dismiss one side 1/2 hour before the other so they don’t “interact” in the street after the game!
- Lomitos! Probably the most delicious thing I ate. Street cart meat and egg sandwichy food. Seriously amazing.
- Oasis concert in the largest soccer stadium in Argentina. 80,000 people. Crazy.
- Meeting Biel. Juanma and G’s new baby boy.
- Traveling the countryside and old towns that surround Asuncion.
More to come, I promise
