It was sad leaving Catalina and her beautiful family in Buenos Aires though I felt confident I would be passing through BA again soon. They generousy put me up for two months and treated me like a (spoilt) son, always keen to show me the unique tastes and experiences of the city, I will be forever grateful. I was also really excited about catching up with Willy in LA, hiring an SUV and hitting Southern California (SoCal) again...

After our crazy, spontanious time Chapadmalal we cruised up to the huge coastal city of Mar Del Plata. After spending the afternoon riding horses on the deserted beaches near El Russo´s farm - the dark and dirty streets of the city seemed quite the contrast. We met a lad from couchsurfing named Lucas who generously welcomed us into his cosy abode and shared rattling tales from the frontline of his job as an Argentinian paramedic.
That night we met up with some of El Russo´s crazy local crew and had an AWESOME night out which consisted (amongst many other things) of cruising from club to club the back of a huge military vehicle and stomping it out at a pumping local Cumbia club.
