So, of course about all I ever report on is the mountains, being out in the mountains, or doing something in the mountains, but as we all know there is more to life than just mountains and playing outside, especially when it comes to international travel....Drinking espresso, eating pastries, drinking mate, the smells of meat on the fire, the language, the customs.....one of the things that I have found very surprising is the kissing customs here in Argentina. Here you are often greeted with a kiss on a cheek and in some regions both cheeks which instantly seems to take that "edge" or uncomfortableness away when meeting someone for the first time. But what I find even more interesting is the personal affection and kissing between couples....I've NEVER seen anything like it. Lips planted against one another for hours and hours and hours.....lounging in the park arms tightly wrapped around one another.....more smiles and more kisses......walking the streets hand in hand.....passionate kisses on every corner.....more kissing and more kissing......did i mention kissing?.....I just have to ask don't they ever get tired of making out? My theory is it makes up for that dead space when you run out of things to talk about, so they just make out instead....maybe.....but I have to say, whether they truly are in love or its the consumption of all the wine or its just part of the culture, it really is a pleasure to see and something us Americans could learn something from.....!
