Yesterday, we got trapped inside a cafe. The wall of rain prevented us from leaving, and the lack of wifi and affordable food made that cafe like our little hell.
Once we made it back to the house, our afternoon was filled with sitting around and going stir crazy.
Finally, the rain passed, and we went to the Ice Bar. The Ice Bar is...well...a bar but it's made of ice. You pay a cover price, and they allow you to stay inside for 30 minutes with an open bar (you know, made of ice).
Challenge accepted.
Jenn was cold before we even entered the room. They gave us large orange fuzzy jackets and mittens, and ushered us into a refrigerator-temperature room in order to ease us into the freezer ahead of us.
The whole thing was pretty cool: ice tables, ice cups, ice sculpture of a stegosaurus. You get the idea... it was an ice bar.
I can't confirm or deny that we got drunk, but of you can win at the Ice Bar, we definitely did.
After leaving the Ice Bar, we warmed our toes over a street hamburger and made our way to the Living Room, "the place of good times," or at least that's what the sign in front told us.
I won't bore you with the details, but I guess we had a pretty good time.
Today we went on a long walk through the jungle, and after lunch went to Tres Fronteras (Three Borders), which is this place where you can see Brazil and Paraguay across the river. After discussing the actual feasibility of swimming across the river to be illegal in yet another country, we decided that we were basically in 3 countries today and that was good enough.
Tomorrow we fly back to Buenos Aires for a hot second before we fly to La Paz, Bolivia the next day (totally legal, I swear). I can't wait to get out of the jungle so I can stop sweating, and Jenn is getting nervous about the cold.
