Had a mild bout of depression today as I found out, as an Australian, I need a visa to go into shitty Paraguay, something I do not want to organise just to buy a cheap camera, while at the same time having to say goodbye to my new favourite hot Argentinian plastic surgeon... seriously, he was like a soap opera doctor. Too hot to be in a hospital not on daytime TV.
Hopefully I can give the money to a workmate and he can get the camera for me when he goes into Paraguay, but who knows when that will actually be (everything takes forever in Argentina) and I want to get some happy snaps of some of the guys here before a bunch of them ship off home this week. Sigh.
I got another ride home on a workmate`s motorcycle last night, woot woot I love those things!!
What else happened today... hmm, not much. The hostel has quietened down quite noticably, I wonder if it`s been the recent shit weather or if it is indeed going into slow season. Either way, it has made some of my working days a mild-sight less tolerable and the views from the front door in now way comparative to previous days. Sigh. Again.
Still undecided about when I will leave or what I will do next, but planning day by day as I talk to people about their travel experiences. Patagonia looks amazing for horseriding but it is getting cold there, and do I really want to end my South American adventure in winter temps before I go back to Australia`s own winter?
Tomorrow is my day off. I had planned on going to Paraguay but since that`s on the rocks, I might just get boozed tonight, sleep in, sleep in, go on a jungle mini-adventure with a new girl from work and possibly fit in a visit to the beautician at some stage. My visit to the tattooist today was not entirely successful... I got another quote which was about 4x the original quote my mate got from a different artist, although I think he may have meant USD not pesos cos $40 - 80 seems a little cheap in pesos (AUD$10 - 20). The second shop I went to today also didn`t seem like amazing artists, so I think I will give that one a miss. Maybe I will go to Brazil to check out things there... we will see...

Cheap massages make me smile
Yesterday, after one of my most lengthy sleeps since arriving here, I was my most tired. Grumpy and tired. I could barely keep my eyes open, and arriving "2 hours early" was actually me arriving 4 hours late. Yep, I actually started at 9am that day. Oops.
So that meant I was working until 10pm again to make up my time, but no one really cared that much. We were that slow... it only was a shame cos I had a couple of things to do which I could no longer do... namely sunbake (it was raining anyway) and do some shit on the internet. And it also meant I missed a whole day working with mi favoritito C... sooooo cute!!
I forgot to mention the other morning, post-hammock activity, that I found a wallet with 150 pesos (about $40) in it, a condom and a business card. I threw it behind the desk and grabbed my bag to go home, wanting to sort it out when I got in the next day. But when I got in I asked P and he said he´d checked that girl out that morning so she wouldn´t be coming back for it. Sweet! Mucho dinero para yo!
First I wanted to spend the money on a horseride but I have since found out the place down the road doesn´t operate anymore, or something, so I am fixated on finding out about tattoo prices in the centre. I tried to go today and failed miserably... every place I went to was closed. Sometimes I hate this fucking place.
Came into work today (my day off) and it was raining still, the internet wasn´t working, the kitchen wouldn´t slip me a free meal and the one I paid for was more than I wanted to pay (but to be fair, still only about $2.50) and I was in a shitty mood. So I am glad I had a massage booked. Man, that was good. Seriously one of the best massages I have had in a while. And she wouldn´t take more than $10. Definitely not the last I will be having here. Dancing at the club the other day really put stress on my thigh muscles. And it´s not like I will stop dancing anytime soon.
