My vacation to the ocean!

So the other week I got time off of work to go on a roadtrip to see the ocean. It was the first time in my life I had ever seen the ocean and it was spectacular! We made sure that we saw (and ate) everything. We didn´t leave one calamari untouched in Mar de Ajo ...unfortunately this would come back to haunt me in the days following, but I´ll get to that later.

We also managed to make it to Buenos Aires. What a city! We visited the Maipo Theatre where I saw my first "revista"...to put it simply: lots of political humour and very few articles of clothing!

Here is a picture from the Maipo Theatre.

The drive home was long... very long... 14 hours long. But we arrived safe and (more or less) sound. The next morning was when the real troubles started.

I woke up to find that there was no water in the house. As it turned out, the entire neighborhood had been without water for the whole week we were away (apparently we have good timing!) Luckily, the water was fixed just a few hours after we discovered we didn´t have it (we have incredible timing!)

It was about this time, that I started to feel a little bit dizzy. Nonetheless, I headed off to work. But by the time I got to work, things were steadily going downhill... this was when I started to get sick.

So I will spare you all the gorey details, but to say the least, I spent the night with my head in the toilet.... wondering "why did I have to eat those extra few calamarettes??"

Thankfully I recovered quickly, but on the advice of the doctor I am sticking to a strick diet of rice, noodles, and water for the week. Not quite as tasty as before, but I´m not taking any chances! Haha.

Well, that´s all for now... check out some of my trip photos below!
