the girls at the wine tour
Although I was dragging yesterday during our walk home from The Japanese Gardens, I pulled through for the wine tour. I had been looking forward to this for months (Peter Brach told me about it back in October.) It's a very low-key event in my old neighborhood. You buy a wine glass for $40 pesos and then have free access to sample wines in all these different shops and art galleries. It was very fun. Most of the wines are from Mendoza; we really should try to go there.
Jenny, Gabby, Annemarie & Damian
I had finally made contact with Leandro (the PR guy who invited Ben and me to El VIP in LOST) and he said he was going to either Rumi or Jet. I tell him I am with two boys and two other girls, will there be a list? "It's okay, you are with me," he tells me in English. He really is so nice. The wine tour ended at 10 pm, so we invited everyone back for pizza at our place. Damian had bought a bottle of wine on the tour, so my little penguin had his first debut.
Damian thought it was silly, but isn't that kind of the point? Eventually I head to Congo, or maybe it was Conga, in Palermo with Annemarie, Damian, Gabby, Daniel, and Jenny. It was a cool place, but I was fading fast. My throat was burning. People offer me their drinks and I have to tell them I had been feeling sick and don't want to get you sick. It probably would've been better to stay home. But the place was fun, and we had good company. Leandro calls me around 2 am: Rumi is too crowded he is going to Jet. After a bit of debate with the others I tell him I feel sick and perhaps another night would be better. He tells me to get better and invites me to the polo game tomorrow. Either it was canceled from the smoke, or he forgot about me, because I never got a call. But to be honest, I feel too sick to enjoy it. It's kind of been a crummy day, but hopefully this is the worst of the illness.
