Bachelor Party.. Argentina style.

     I was fortunate enough to see a bachelor party procession last night. We went to dinner at a place called Argentina Bar, and sat outside. We had a view of the street, and guess what we saw? Something so eccentric.. so peculiar yet absurdly amusing.

 The procession actually stopped traffic, and cars were honking their horns loudly in annoyance. The truck, that was full of men (can you see the guy in the wig? he's the one getting hitched apparently) even had a man with a guitar.. and they were singing a song "No te cases!" which signifies "Don't get married!"

          They eventually pulled over, because the procession took off on foot through the streets. I asked Mari, "Can the cops pull them over, or give them a ticket for this? They are holding up traffic and are drunk in public." She said, "Are you kidding! The police here would probably say 'Can I Join you!!!??' " I actually got a video as they marched right past our table.. they stopped and asked us if they wanted us to lift up his dress. But, my camera didn't record it! They decorated this poor guy with horrible makeup suitable for a woman on the vegas corner, and a shirt that barely covered his naked body. They even tied up his arms with a long rope and paraded him around like an animal. It was a bit sad at first.. but he was having fun apparently :)
