Last night in Mendoza

Last night we went to Mendoza centre to meet up with Bianca, Erwin and Marlon for the last time. It was sad to say goodbye but you know with some friends it will not be too long before you see each other again. Bianca has been a good friend to Florencia since I have known her and before that they lived together in Fuengirola. Although I have not had any in depth conversations with Bianca I consider her a true friend who will always be there for Florencia. Erwin has been a great counter part for me because we share a lot of interests and he has a great sense of humor, something that I regard highly.

In Spain we would meet up at the weekends and share good times and it is something I will miss, especially little Marlon who has grown so much in the last year. To get a final chance to spend some time in Argentina was most precious.

After hitting the motorway for about 20 minutes we entered the city, driving in the city isn’t one of my favorite things because I am still not sure of how everything works. Anyway with a few wrong turns under our belt and a bit of back doubling we were at the plaza Italia.

The restaurant is a converted house with a glass door entry. We were welcomed and shown to the back room which had been pre-booked for one party. The decoration was pleasant and reminded you that it was a large dining room which you would normally find in a house. The chairs were wooden without cushions but the table looked really nice. Before long I had drunk my beer allowance and was on the water. The choice on the menu was strained but it wasn’t too difficult to make a decision.

The food came and it was disappointing for me, I am no food critic but a plate of rosemary with a hint of dinner is what I got. The night however went very well with everyone talking and laughing into the early hours of the morning which made up for any minor setbacks.
