El Bolson

El Bolson is a small hippy town just south of Bariloche. We were told that there are some good parties there, as well as a nice market on Saturdays. Our first night there was spent in an Israeli hostel. It was really strange because everything was in Hebrew, and everyone would come up to me speaking Hebrew and being surprised that I'm not from the same country as them. They were all very friendly, though, and I had a pretty good time, as I was able to witness my first Hanuka. Some candles were lit, some doughnut type pastries were eaten, and wine was drunk. It was quite amusing.

The next day we went to the market, which was quite alot smaller than I was expecting, but we got to try some of the local beer made by the hippies. It was really nice, there were all kinds of different flavours. I had a raspberry beer, and Sagy had a strawberry one. It was really nice. The rest of the day was spent partying with the hippies. I had a relatively good time in El Bolson.

We are now back in Bariloche where we start our Spanish (or Castellano, which is what they speack here) lessons tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be too difficult.
