Playing pool while tipsy....ok, drunk

Haven't posted about our awesome hotel yet. We're staying in the Hilton Buenos Aires in the newly developed Puerto Madero area. It's a short 10-15 minute walk to the city center and is right on the river. We read some reviews beforehand talking about how it's a pretty standard Hilton and didn't really have any of the "local" Buenos Aires feel to it ("sterile" is how someone described it) but Chris and I are pretty happy here. It's a luxury hotel and we appreciate being pampered a bit on our vacation/"real" honeymoon. Plus, the lobby is an amazing 7 story high atrium!

On top of all of that, Chris and I got upgraded to the executive floor as a part of Chris getting an offer to be a Gold VIP Hilton HHonors member from Continental. We have definitely taken advantage of it! The room is probably the same but the amenities in the executive lounge are amazing!

0 Full breakfast buffet every morning with pastries, croissants, hot and cold breakfast foods, fruit, cereal, yogurt, coffee, tea, juice, the works (and the little jam bottles of dulce de leche...so good!(
o Water, coffee, tea, mints, and these little cookie sandwiches stuffed with the drool worthy dulce de leche as above at any time
o Free internet access
o Free sauna/gym access
o Afternoon tea, cookies, pastries, coffee
o Cocktail hour! Argentinian Malbecs and Chardonnay, Champagne, soda, beer, a full bar, and little cold cuts and hors d'oeuvres.
o Executive lounge access with TV, pool table, games, etc

So we've been taking advantage of the breakfast and cocktail hour each night. I try different alcoholic drinks, only to not want to drink them (being the alcoholic lightweight that I am) and promptly give them to Chris. So he had 3 or 4 drinks last night including wine and Jack and Coke (Coca Cola Light is better than Diet Coke and goes in a Jack and Coke much better here) before we started playing some pool. It was pretty funny to play with Chris as he was...impaired. And yet, I still lost a couple games to him. What does that say about me? Anyway, it was a fun way to dry off from the rain and enjoy the hotel. Off to see more of Buenos Aires!
