My emotions are going out of whack. Worlds of extremes...meeting people crazier than me, dealing with people crazier than me...is not so easy. So what have I learned on this thus far 6 month journey? I really dunno. Im still the same nut who left houston back a few months ago. Im still that sensitive Piscean. I just know that Iīm not day dreaming and that Iīm existing in this fast world of ours and iīm still trying to process everything thatīs being blown my way.
Tomorrow Iīll be leaving Buenos Aires for Puerto Iguazú. A 16 hr bus journey or so so that I can be face to face with Waterfalls that put Niagra to a shame! I canīt wait!
Iīm exhausted. I ran around with a friend from Cordoba who is prob. the craziest person that I have ever met in my life. Whew!
At the hostal, Iīve been made fun of because I eat ĻBird seedsĻ. Flax seeds, wheat germ and Amaranth are not bird seeds, eventhough they make look like them. Iīve had people, ask me a zillion times what Iīm eating, why iīm eating that...many are rude and sniff the seeds...Canīt I eat in peace! Please, let me eat them Ļbird seedsĻ!
Irma and Effrain THANK YOU once again! I love you! Mom, dad, you too!
Funny thing, Today as I was walking....the air smelled like DILL PICKLES. jajaja. Air smelling like pickles. Sounds gross, but my mouth watered, ja!
Argentinians are greedy with CHANGE! NO one ever has change! But Everyone wants change! They hoard their coins like squirels! Itīs crazy!
Ok, iīll stop nagging. Itīs time for me to go hit the hey. Over and Out!

Hi Claudia! I'm one of the people who was messaging with you months and months ago in January, when we were both getting ready to leave and freaking out. I came back to Canada over 3 months ago... and here you are, still travelling! I completely understand the emotional ups and downs that come along during a trip like this (and even more so, with your trip! Being so much longer...) I think what you're doing is an amazing feat, and you probably don't even realize all of the layers of yourself that are getting stronger and more complex and interesting during your journey.
So give yourself a pat on the back! Enjoy Iguazu! And keep eating those birdseeds!!

Birdseed? You would! Take pics of these water falls...they must look awesome.
Yep, I remember those back and forth crazy messages when we were trying to give each other morale support from afar! Itīs crazy how time just goes by so quickly, and we donīt even see how all this is afftecting us. Itīs almost like an experiment...letīs just hope I donīt come out even crazier than I already am, jejeje. So howīs life back to reality? Do u still remember the spanish you learned down here? Ps-Bird Seeds are yummy!
gobble, gobble! jaja. Of course ill take loads of pictures!
