Well,
Yesterday, in Posadas we went to see the Jesuit ruins, which were pretty interesting actually, I got some really good pictures.
After that we went to the bus station where we had to wait around for about 5 hours...went by quickly though.
And after that great 5 hours of waiting we got on the 17 hour bus, I slept for about half the time though, so cant complain.
After stepping off the bus I got a map ad hauled my big backpack on a 30 minute walk to the new hostel. Its in a good spot, right in the center of the city, and I can finally do some laundry.
The city has 1.3 million people in it, reminds me of Buenos Aires, except much smaller of course, which is nice.
We looked into skydiving, which is 110 Euros...which in Canadian is... I dont know... 300? Anyways, I do really want to go but I am going to wait til I get to Mendoza to see if things are cheaper there.
In almost all of the hostels I have been in for some reason play Bob Marley all the time, which is
nice (I like Bob Marley) but...Kyle (my nephew who I miss like crazy) loves Bob Marley and sings Stir it up and Stand up for your right all the time at home, so every time I hear those songs I get a hug lump in my throat.
So far the trip has had a couple setbacks but the hardest thing to overcome is homesickness, every couple days I will just miss home like crazy, which I guess is normal, since I have never been away from home for a long period of time. Its not that I cant go 3 weeks without family, its just knowing that I have to go 3 more months that is the hard part. But I know when I get home and hug Kyle, along with everyone else I will feel whole again, I cant wait to get home, but at the same time I cant wait to see what the next 3 months has in store.
