Boys and basketball


Three of my university friends invited (translation: coerced) me into coming to watch their game and naturally, what is an American friend good for but to take pictures?? I couldn't complain. It was a good game and they gave me a ride home so I didn't have to navigate the public transport system at o'dark 30 in the morning ; game started around 9:45pm and naturally boys will be hungry after hours of strenuous activity.
But hotdogs? really boys? What happened to breakfast of champions? nutrition and all that good news?
Rodrigo, Denis and Jose
 
up for the tip-off... yay tall people!
closest Jose would get to the net all night... he's a point guard and traditionally a 3-point shooter, but I guess he decided to shake things up
setting the zone for a throw-in
Regatta (the other team) calls a time-out so the coach can rant... he seemed to enjoy doing that
Denis and Juampi taking a breather... long game, few subs. They're tough
Rodrigo wanted a "facebook foto"
talking "business" after the game... Rodrigo wants to open up a "finca", which is essentially a 1-2 room building on several acres of property with a pool, vineyard, and mountain access (yes they have a word that implies all that. Quite a few of those here). So his idea is to make the finca a day-event destination for tourists in local hostels and student groups were they can come, relax and experience Argentine food and culture for a day (food, cooking lessons, music, and horses provided). He's 28, a chef at a local restaurant and has decided it's high time he does something with his life
props. I'd love to see it happen, even if I doubt I could afford a day like the one he's proposing
 
obviously the camera was no longer in my control at this point....
