The rest of the day we spend with his friends from Cordoba, the afternoon sitting around drinking mate. At one point my brain was overloaded with Spanish, so I went to my room, read some email, called my sister, and when I came out, everybody was gone. I was worried that somehow I had missed the dinner call, but Hugo had just walked his friends out to the car to say good-bye. I should point out that this good-bye took about an hour, and we were planning to see them two hours later!
People eat late here. Very late. Again, I love this place. Restaurants don't even open for dinner until 9 o'clock, and it's pretty common to see a restaurant completely full at midnight.
Picked up some vegetarian mid-eastern food, and went over to a beautiful, elegant house where Hugo's friends were staying. Ate on the roof, chatting about this and that, very nice evening. Returned home around 2AM. Given that I spent last night on an airplane (on the very back seat, which didn't recline much), I'm amazed I was able to stay awake this long.
