Lunar Kayaking

Barriloche

Lazy day. I actually get to sleep in a bit today, which doesn’t happen very often. Claire wakes me up to come play Frisbee with her. When we start out it’s apparent that she’s the worst Frisbee player ever. It was more like playing fetch than catch. Eventually, though, she gets a little better and we enjoy ourselves.

Kyanne and Steve have taken a cabin down by the lake and in the afternoon when we see her walking down there, we follow her. It’s a perfect little love nest. Nice little cabin with a porch over looking the beautiful lake. We seemed to have interrupted a little romantic afternoon snack. Steve has bought nice wine, smoked salmon, crackers and all the rest. Luckily, Claire and I manage to get ourselves invited to stay and we enjoy a pleasant afternoon with them (only feeling slightly guilty).

That evening there is a lunar eclipse, so I manage to organize a little kayak trip on the lake for a few of us. I go along with Damon, Kristy, Neal and Leigh and we paddle up and down the lake under the eclipse. Damon, Kristy and I enjoy it, though Neal and Leigh thought it was pretty boring. Apparently, they thought there would be rapids or something to negotiate.

That evening everybody’s up for a night out, so we head into town to the Irish bar. Soon, however, Kate and especially Naomi are anxious to find a club. Naomi has a way of stamping her foot and declaring “Michael!” when she’s impatient. Unfortunately for her we find it more entertaining than threatening. Finally at about 2 am we do go look for a club. When we find one, it’s only after we pay the cover when we realize that we’re the only ones there. Once again, the Argy’s love for late nights has struck again and the place doesn’t start to fill up until about 3:30 in the morning, but by that time we’re pretty tired and only stay until about 4.
