Villa Ventana

Two weekends ago me and my friend Juli went to spend the weekend at her grandparents house in a small town about an hour and half away from Bahia, called Villa Ventana. We were supposed to go with our other girl friends, Clara, Maria, and Ana Belen but they ended up not being able to come, for some reason or another.
Thursday night was la fiesta de los terceros which was kind of like prom Argentina style. Its hosted by the 2nd year kids for the 3rd year to celebrate their finishing of secondary school. The fiesta went from 12-5 or 6 in the morning and after that everyone walks to school on Friday morning, or skip school. I went to school, and spend most of the day sleeping during our off periods and breaks, but afterwards, me and Juli took a combi (small bus thing) to Villa. On the Combi there was another american (what are the odds) and we arrived in Villa around 4 in the afternoon. We made ourself confertable in her grandparents house. The house is called Casita del Bosque because the whole patio is roofed with vines and in the backyard there is treehouse de la puta madre. Anyways, we spent the afternoon hanging out, talking, walking around Villa (its absolutyly beautiful, all there is NATURE...something I missed sooo much). We went into the tiny town to buy some empanadas for dinner and a couple of beers are well. We ended up falling asleep around 10 that night due to the lack of sleep of the night before. The next morning we woke up at around 10 and hung around, ate lunch at 11 or 12 and then went on our way to go for a hike. I guess in Argentina trails dont really exist because me and Juli picked a mountian area that we wanted to climb and headed on our way. This area of Argentina is in a droubt so there isn't a lot of water but heading towards the mountians, Juli and I stumbled upon this pond that we had to cross to get to the mountains. We ended up swimming around for a good 30 mintues before putting our clothes back on and continuing on with our hike. We spent the afternoon scrambling around the mountians, laughing and singing, with our bottle of water and the camera. Around 3 or 4 we decided to turn back and head down, but we ended making a right mess of getting home. We had to wade through huge amounts of grass, jump fences, get yelled at by a gaucho (farmer) and finally hop onto the highway to tell where we were. We went to buy some ice cream after the hike, and some beer, and what not. We went back home, made outselves a pizza, ate, talked, laughed, made ourselves another pizza, and ended up going to bed around 1. On sunday Juli woke up at 10 telling me that her friend had hitchhiked from Sierra (another town about 20 mintues away) and that she was going to go meet them so they could eat with us. I stayed asleep until about 12. When I woke up we all cooked lunch together, I cant remember the two boys names. But they were really cool and a lot of fun and spent the afternoon with us, playing the guitar and talking. At 6 we had to go back to Bahia and honestly no one wanted to go home. But overall I very good mini-holiday. Te quiero juli.
