Got to Cordoba the morning of the 11th and started looking for a hostel, things were pretty booked up, but found one on my 4th try.  Dropped of the bags and showered and hit the road by around 11 to head off to Oktoberfest in the town of Villa General Belgrano, about 2 hours away.  Went with a group of 5 other people from the hostel.  Decided to stop along the way at Alta Garcia, a town half way that has some 17'18th c Jesuit buildings.  That turned out to be kinda a flop because everything was closed for siesta.  Thought about heading to the Che Guevera meuseum, the town is where he grew up, but we all decided to just head to the beer fest.

Spent the rest of the day until midnight at the beerfest.  The main street of town was blocked off for about 1/2 mile and was just packed full of people drinking beer.  There were a couple microbrews in town, so tried both of those.  The town has a disney world german look, with german restaurants and about every second store selling steins.  Was pretty wild, met a lot of different people and had a good time.  Nothing really was going on there other than just people drinking beer, but it was still a lot of fun.  I did my best to fit in.

Must have been hard...
I'm sure you stuck out like a sore thumb.
