Halloween Previa!

    Recently we've been hanging out with a group of local chicos that Megan's host family introduced her to. It's pretty common that some of the locals want to throw parties for the foreigners to practice their English or simply have an excuse to party more. So this group of chicos has thrown a couple parties for us, calling them "English nights", and giving us more Spanish help too. A couple weeks ago they had a party in Chacras, at one of the chico's houses, which was a massive house with probably 2 or 3 guest houses and lots of beautiful land. Chacras has some of the ritzier houses in Mendoza, and is also where all the big boliches are. It's been fun teaching them our American drinking games, and learning theirs, and always having them ask if American parties are like what they see in the movies. I tell them that what they see in the movies is our chill Tuesday nights and on the weekends it gets even crazier. This week we had another party at the same house to celebrate Halloween. We got so creative with costumes; some of us were Argentinian things. I was Dulce de Leche, Amanda was Andes beer, Lizzy was Aconcagua, Julia was a bidet, and Briana was an asado. We looked super great, and I even brought dulce de leche and crackers and dulce de leche liqueur to accompany my costume. We played beer pong all night, which was so fun because I haven't played in three months, and some of the Argentinians were actually really good at it. I drank way too much fernet and coke, after my new found realization that I like fernet now. It took three months of trying it and hating it to get used to it, and now I like it. It takes like mouth wash at first, but it's all the Argentinians drink. We all crashed at the house in Chacras and had to figure out the micro getting back in the morning, which was easy enough.
