The annual "Waiter's race" was celebrated just recently in Buenos Aires. Without a doubt the most bizarre race I've ever witnessed. What´s it all about? well waiters from around the country have to come dressed up in their work attaire and walk around 7 blocks down Avenida de Mayo, carrying a tray with two bottles and a glass of orange juice. They can´t run, just walk fast and they have to avoid spilling or toppling any of the bottles, or face elimination. The first to cross the line wins.

La carrera de Mozos / The Waiter´s race
Se celebró la ya tradicional Carrera de Mozos y Camareras en su edición 2012. Probablemente la carrera más bizarra que haya presenciado en muchisimo tiempo. ¿En que consiste? Mozos y camareras se inscriben y tienen que venir a participar con su uniforme de trabajo. El objetivo es caminar a paso rapido 7 cuadras de la Avenida de Mayo, con una bandeja en la que hay una botella de gaseosa, otra de agua y un vaso servido con jugo de naranja. Usando una sola mano y sin que ninguna botella se caiga, el ganador es quien pase la linea de la meta primero.
