ayyy tiempo!






So I really have been trying to keep up with this darned thing... but I just realized I went to Mendoza 3 weeks ago... yikes!

So some highlights in the meantime include
  • writing lots of papers.. but finally being done with classes!
  • visiting Montevideo, Uruguay...never thought I´d head over there... but it was nice! Definitely a good place to go in the summer... pretty beaches, amusement parks, ferias, a great hostel, good sandwiches called chivitos, visiting the old sites of Montevideo
  • visiting Colonia, Uruguay... a quaint little historic town across from Buenos Aires... fun little day trip!
  • being sick... not so much fun being sick, alone, and in the city. but alas I´m over it!
  • Indian food in Buenos Aires.... ahh the Argentines simply don´t flavor their food. It was such a breath of fresh air to actually TASTE for once!
  • the Madres in the Plaza de Mayo. Every Thursday they replicate their original protest. Very cool to witness.
  • preparation for Patagonia! Once we finished classes on Friday, we headed home then to the bus station for our 20 hour bus ride! More adventures to come!
