May 2014 - I continued to get back on my feet going to Physio Therapy 3 days a week and having In House Therapy 1 day a week. The NHL Playoffs continued in to the later rounds as I shifted my schedule to fit the good games in. And more interesting points of life in Buenos Aires. Some partying to be sure helping me cope with the sadness of leaving Argentina again.
Quick tidbits:
- Argentina Government in a continuing attempt to control USD buying and selling no longer allows foreigners to buy flight tickets in CASH. WTF!!! It's a long story about Nationalisation and Buying Oil needing USD to do so. Perhaps I'll get in to that another time.
- Sitting in traffic, if a car tire drives over your foot the initial thought is ... Oh no... but it doesn't hurt!
FUNNY Electric Therapy! During physio treatment my leg was set in a 90 degree with a wedge to help alleviate lower back pain. Hilarious and painful all wrapped in to one with me yelling in spanish too!

A night at my favourite bar!! Rose Bar which is the best on Thursdays due to the after work crowd meaning the night starts at 8pm and ends at 1am. Not the standard bar time in Buenos Aires, but just perfect for me.

What a great 5 1/2 months in Argentina from Dec 2013 to end of May 2014. Tonnes of new friends and new experiences, plus a new level of spanish (at least I think so).
Thanks to Nati, Ana, Adolfo, Julian, Sole, Martin, Emiliano and Luli for all help and guidance this year. See ya in November.
And that's all for 2013/ 2014 in Argentina. What kind of Canadian leaves 2 litres of beer behind in his fridge??
