I love testicles

Hello kids. I am gearing up for a 19 hour bus ride to Iguaze falls. Apparently it´s a luxury bus with seats that fully recline to a bed and they serve Champagne (lets be real, they had me there).
Last night I went to a cooking class with Lauren and Marisa. It was over crowded, disorganized and we made fake tamales. The girls there were either crnchy backpackers or 21 year snobs... didn´t care for either. But suprisingly they had something in common... they ate like pigs and had no manners! There was without a doubt not enough food... it was more like an entrada than a meal... that was clear. Two gentlemen in particular would not serve themselves until all of us ladies had eaten... but htese girls went for thirds! One of the guys is in his 50´s I would say. Has done a lot from the military to now living in Costa Rica seeling Argentine wine. The other man is maybe in his early 30´s and is studying a masters program here to become military abassador in Honduras for the good ´ole USofA. They invited us to go out to dinner with them. Marisa, after my prompting agreed to go. They treated us to the nicest dinner I have has thus far. A bottle of bubbly, two bottles of Malbec, 3 rib eyes, 2 veggies, someone got the assorted meat meal which I will get to in a second, and coffee all around. It came to (though my wallet didn´t conribute)216 pesos... very expensive meal until you do the calculations and realize it´s really only $75 for all of that!
The assorted meats- I agreed to try them before learning what they were... Bull balls and some neck gland... I like, I do I do! I had balls!!! They were very flavorful but the texture was odd- almost like tofu but not quite... I have had that texture before but I can´t remember or place it for an accurate comparison. The neck glad was good too.
These guys have offered to take us to a the superbowl of Polo games next weeekend- I plan on going.
I have to say it was a much different evening than the previous!
