rain

I was beat yesterday. The plane rides are starting to drain me. It used to be off the plane and right in to it but now I get to the hotel, shower and nap. Getting old.

It´s cold here, not bad thought. 50´s 40´s something like that. I´m wearing my jacket and today i have on my thermals. Wind was blowing hard this morning so I could feel the building move. Now that´s wind!

No pictures, i tried to upload last night and the computer in the hotel crashed my camera so I´m not doing that again. I´ll try again when I´m off the boat.

So yesterday, I went to dinner. Casa de los Mariscos. I figured, I´m in a port, sea food must be good. I had arroz con mariscos and it was great! My waiter was some depressed goth kid made me uncomfortable to talk to but the owner came by later and brought me bread and more water so it evened out.

They call Ushuaia the end of the world. It´s on a lot fo the tshirts. Well on the way home from dinner I went to the casino. Yes, at the end of the world there is a casino and.....there is a crap table there.

The table opened at 10pm so I waited. Cashed in and took the dice. Now I usually pound the table grab the dice and roll. Holy fuck ! they did not like that at all. I was instructed with blistering eye contact and furious attention (in spanish) to recieve the dice, in my hand and throw. No other movement or contact. WTF?

Hey, whatever, I¨m a the end of the world and there is a crap table. I¨m happy.

I rolled for about 15 minutes and wasn´t feeling it. They´re chips are like funky kids buttons. shiny purples and pinks and rounded at the edges. Like little space ships. Weird.

I lost 88 ARS which is like 22 dollars US. Not bad. It was interesting. I didn´t really have that much fun...but I want to try again. I¨m sick that way.

It´s been raining and the wind has been a mother all morning but i´m going to run out again for a bit. See more of the town.

Tomorrow is the boat. 11 days.

I´ll post again before I leave...
later.
