                    <title>Arrival in Durham</title>
                    <description>Well I've arrived safely here in Durham. After the long flight I waddled into the airport with all of my baggage. Having planned on being alone and having to manage all of my baggage I had carefully selected my large hiking backpack an enormous rolling duffel bag and a rolling carryon bag on which I could rest the smaller bag containing my computer and other electronics. I was all ready to </description>

                    <title>Message From Paradise</title>
                    <description>On Monday morning I arrived at 9 am in Puerto Iguazu a small town with not a lot to offer after a 20 hour bus ride from Rosario. From town I hopped in a taxi and headed over to my hostel. I'm staying at the Hostel Inn which is lovely huge and actually has a slightly disappointing staff since most of them refuse to speak spanish with a native english speaker and a couple that seem to not eve</description>

                    <title>La Copa Mundial</title>
                    <description>Well today was the first game for Argentina in the World Cup and man is it good to be in a ftbol crazy nation People keep asking me if I'm going for the U.S. or for Argentina and unfortunately I have to tell them that I'm going for Argentina since I don't think that the U.S. really has a chance. However as I read in one of the ftbol reviews every World Cup the U.S. plays less soccer and mo</description>

                    <title>"The Land of Fire"</title>
                    <description>Tierra del Fuego is one of the most amazing places in the entire world. I said once actually more than once but who's counting that I would love to be able to live in Mendoza and the same sentiment goes for Tierra del Fuego. It's not that I have any strong attraction to the city of Ushuaia in fact while it's nice it's just another one of those tourist towns that seem to be scattered around th</description>

                    <title>Meanwhile back at base...</title>
                    <description>Sometimes I wonder if I should be keeping a closer check on the things that are going on at home back in the states. I just got an email from Charlie today and realized that I had stopped reading newspapers... at least ones that tended to carry any real information about the U.S. I started to ponder why that was and decided that it was about time to catch up on the old home fires find out if th</description>

                    <title>I went to prison today...</title>
                    <description>This morning we flew down from Calafate to Ushuaia which is the southernmost city in the entire world. It is beautiful here for me more beautiful than the area surrounding Calafate. There it was too flat there were too few trees and everything appeared to be too dry. Here it is completely different. The town is ringed with mountains their peaks covered with snow and their slopes covered with </description>

                    <description>Today I saw one of the most amazing aspects of the natural world that I could ever want to see The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the largest ones that you can visit and get close.The glacier is huge too It rises something like 160 meters and can be viewed from the top from a vantage point of the hills opposite it. The park that it is located within Los Glacieres National Park has been declar</description>

                    <title>Home Again</title>
                    <description>Well it seems like everyone from the program went travelling this weekend with the exception of Stephanie and myself so we spent the time that we had together. I also spent a fair amount of time with my Argentine friends. Unfortunately Charly and I had a bit of a falling out something about him wanting to date me and me not really wanting to have a commitment to anyone with only a month left i</description>

                    <title>Gaucho Party</title>
                    <description>Oh how could I anything but love the Gaucho culture Alright well I guess that I should first explain for everyone exactly what constitutes gaucho culture Basically it is the local version of cowboy culture. The men work on estancias and have a long history in the country. They are know to be hard workers and to know everything about the land tracking local wildlife horses and of course rai</description>

                    <title>Home Sweet Home</title>
                    <description>Midterms week is over mostly As I'm proud to anounce One B but I guess I can live with that since GRAMMAR has never been the strongest aspect of my spanish... or my english for that matter. I've recently been using my time to explore things a little bit closer to home with the exception of the Gaucho Party of course and Rosario has held some surprising experiences for me in the past few </description>

                    <title>Buenos Aires</title>
                    <description>This has been an amazing weekend The official tour of Buenos Aires has been really helpful in understanding the seat of power of the country It's also an extremely beautiful place. San Telmo and Boca are my favorite areas. Recoleta cemetery is also really interesting sort of like a city within a city. The tombs of all of the rich and powerful figures from history are all gathered into one small</description>

                    <description>Well here I am in Uruguay. This weekend has been absolutely amazing I left on Friday morning from Buenos Aires to take the Buquebus ferry for us English speakers over into Colonia. Basically I had scheduled about 7 hours for myself to bum around exploring Colonia. It's an extremely small town but beautiful. The old city where I spent the majority of my day is one of the places that is prot</description>

                    <title>I'm in Mendoza</title>
                    <description>Here I am in Mendoza We rolled in this morning on a bus after a 12 hour ride. Well we found a hostel here but since it's Semana Santa things are all booked and it's hard to find something good. We're in a place called Campo Base and we ended up having to buy a package in order to stay here but it works out since other kids from the program are staying here also. I'm so excited about this expe</description>

                    <title>And Finally...</title>
                    <description>Last night was my first real tango opportunity. We had a party for the program and everyone got together at La Fluvial the best place in the city to get a bunch of American college students drunk on red wine without many serious repercussions. It was beautiful right on the river with a balcony overlooking everything. Beba the director of the program had scared up about 10 tango instructors to</description>

                    <title>Music</title>
                    <description>Well here I am again in the middle of a school week and I think that my spanish is coming along fairly well. I have a fairly good grasp of the slang here now as well which definitely helps things. During this fin de semana I went to a concert with all of the other kids from the program and it was amazing The music was fantastic se llama Bersuit they are a fusion group that plays a mix of ro</description>

                    <description>Well here it is Monday and I'm back at school... not that I did any studying this weekend. I spent the whole weekend having an absolutely wild time. My friend Randi and I went out on Thursday night expecting to meet up with some more of the kids from the program but ended up spending the evening at the bar with a bunch of Stock Brokers that were having a birthday party for one of the guys from </description>

                    <title>Livin it up</title>
                    <description>Well I seem to be getting more and more comfortable in the city. Each day is a little bit easier. I had my first bus ride yesterday solo. And it was quite an experience. I live near one of the local Futbol stadiums and there was a game so by the time that I got home at about 730 the streets were packed. I watched the game on TV since I didn't have a ticket and I don't think that I was allowe</description>

                    <title>Bienvenidos a Rosario</title>
                    <description>Well everyone here I am in Rosario Arbentina beginning my adventure. I had no idea that all of those years of Spanish would pay off but I seem to be able to communicate basically everything that I could want to. Its only the third day and Ive already had more adventures than I normally have in a month in Eugene. On the first night I arrived in Rosario with a group of girls from the progra</description>
