Fight Do

Hugo had his first training session this morning with a well known boxer named Mariano. Apparently he's won 3 argentine titles and 1 for all of south america. and he's a hottie to boot! yes, i loitered nearby with my camera after throwing the ball to utta a few times and pretending to do leg lifts. actually i posted these shots more as an ego boost to my hubba hubba hubby. pretty studly for a 41 yr old eh? I heard Mariano ask him in espanol what his age was and to guess it around 25 or 26. that's gotta feel good. meantime, i'm on the mend. drinking lots of water and eating steamed veggies. tonight we go to dinner with a couple from Malasia we met a few weeks ago. they're on a similar adventure but much bolder. they left everything and came here with their 3 kids, bought a dumpy building in a trendy part of Palermo Soho shopping/dining district and are renovating the entire thing while living there. they plan to turn the downstairs into two retail storefronts to rent out and add a second story for them to live in. they've also purchased another building down the street that they plan to turn into a 9 story boutique hotel. neither of them have ever built or run a hotel before but they were architects in malasia so at least know alittle something about space. oh, and "Fight Do" is the name of my new fav class at the gimnasio. it's similar to cardio kickboxing but more real boxing moves. a great workout and of course all chicas in the class. 30 minutes is saved at the end for the prerequisite leg and butt lifts.
