Friday:
Ron and Cole at bus station
Friday night we (Ron, Cole, and I) met at Casa Holden at 11:30 to catch our bus at 1. So we took a taxi to the bus station, and waited around a little bit. While we were sitting Ron glanced at the tickets to make sure everything was correct, and noticed that the tickets were for Friday morning at 1 am instead of Saturday morning! So, we talked to the ticket lady and she said there was no more room until 9 am. Awesome!
Saturday:
So we went to our respective houses until around 7:30 when we met up to try again. Success! We all passed out on the bus, and woke up when we pulled into Pinamar around 2. Unfortunately it was very raining and dreary, so we pretty much just lounged around and went out for dinner. Our room was sweet though. It was a “Hostel” but it was really more like a hotel. There were 3 beds, and we had our own room.

Sunday:
We headed out to the sand dunes for the day! We took a taxi out there and got to the ATV place to find out that they don’t take cards. None of us had our phones, so we walked to a nearby guard station and asked them to call a cab for us. We went back and got some lunch and then came back with cash! We had a great day on the dunes. We wore goofy baseball-looking helmets, so we looked pretty awesome. We had a good time launching off some dunes, and all of us had trouble at some time. Ron’s died and then we couldn’t get it to neutral to start it. Then Cole went up a hill, didn’t make it, and his ATV rolled all the way down the hill (see picture). Then we found this half-pipe kind of thing. I had a hay day fishtailing at the top and going back and forth doing that. But on one I cranked it, and my handle bars got a little caught on my jacket, and turn the wrong way. I bailed and my ATV rolled a couple of times. It was sweet!
That night we went to dinner and fell asleep pretty early because we were all pretty exhausted after our ATV day.

Monday:
Monday we had a beach day. It was a little chilly so we didn’t get in, but we had a great day enjoying the ocean and some rays. It was a very nice day, and we did some fun people watching on the beach. We went on a couple adventures to find lunch and dinner, and played a little air hockey. We were homeless after 12 or so. We checked out, and the hostel held our stuff. So we pretty much floated around and enjoyed the area. That night we went and saw inglorious bastards, but I had already seen it so I dozed off a bit. Then we hit the bus station to get on our 3 am bus!

Overall, it was a super fun trip. Intense yet restful.
Tuesday:
We got off the bus around 9:30, and headed home. I didn’t have enough time to sleep before class, so I headed to Casa Holden and prepped for my Spanish in-class essay.
