Hey all!
We are leaving Kansas on February 3rd and flying to Buenos Aires. We are going to stay with a family friend of Cari's, Eunice and we don't know how long we will stay. As soon as we have had our share of tango, asadas, and smog, we will head to Montevideo, Uruguay.
Montevideo is a cute town but not too interesting. There we will visit Miriam (Cari's cousin) and drink mate. Our goal is then to head up the coast and put some color on our pasty, North American bodies. We will somehow find our way back to Buenos Aires by the 18th of February to fly to Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
Marioly Salinas-Aliaga, our favorite Bolivian, will be hosting us in her lovely home for a couple of weeks. Hopefully they won't get sick of us. Experiencing Carnival with "Loly" will be a highlight.
Then we fly to Guatemala City via Peru and Costa Rica on the 1st of March. We will start language classes on the 3rd. While there, we will each live with a host family in the same neighborhood there and will meet up with our good friend Tim from college.
With Tim we hope to go somewhere beyond Guatemala for spring break. Initially, we wanted to go to Cuba put we don't have much money.
We will keep this blog updated as often as possible.
