Bariloche Part 2: Certificate of Courage

Bariloche is amazing but exhausting. There is just too much to do.
Yesterday we went canopying. They drive you up a mountain in a 4x drive. Then strap you into harnesses, and set you off down flying foxes conected to the tops of the trees back down the mountain. It´s pretty cool, they even gave us a certificate of courage, so we´re certifiably more courageous than all of you! Probably more cool though are all the people we have met here. The hostel we´re at is the first that we have really been able to meet nice people and hang out with them. We never once intended to head out to town for the noght, but it´s happened just about every night cos people just pull you out and take you to cool places. They have the most amazing chocolate here at a place called Mamushca´s, not really comprable to Haighs but really good. Their ice cream is even better at a place called JaiJai, pronounced Hai hai, so much variety, all gold. That said, I´ve cut down to one meal a day. Partly cos of money, partly cos of time, but to be honest I´m having no problems with it, cos at the end of the day I´ve been going down to the supermarket, getting a 600 gram chunk of steak, fry it up with onions, capsicum, garlic, and jalapenos, served with a side of mash and peas and carrots, and boy it really hits the spot. All for about $3.50 Australian. If you buy at the supermarket, you can eat real cheap!
We went bike riding today with a group of 6 of us fro the hostel, got a bit lost, but that was fine. We just sat by a river and read our books then found our way home, but gee my ass hurts now. I reckon you have to be a masochist to be a cyclist!
Anyway, best be cruising, my tummy´s rumbling, and steak isn´t too far away!
