So I went to the beach in the morning after getting a solid night’s sleep for the first time in a long while. I finally didn’t wake up hungover which was a great thing hahaha. The beach was really nice; although it was a little dirty I was just happy to see how blue the water was and how white the sand was. I stayed there for a little over an hour and then walked around the city for a while exploring some things I hadn’t seen. It’s a very clean city, everything is white washed and it’s also very dry as you’d expect. I don’t get the feeling that it rains here all that often. I made my way to the train station and bought my ticket out of here on Thursday morning to Sevilla. ... read more

I left Buenos Aires after a three day delay because of the ash from the volcano in Chile. It was nice to finally get on the road again but I didn’t want to leave. Buenos Aires is like my home now and I find myself here in Madrid a little homesick, but not for the USA, for Argentina and Buenos Aires!!! I made a lot of good friends and there are a lot of very special people to me in BA and I really really want to go back!! But anyways, I had to stop in Colombia to get my flight to Madrid, so I stopped in Bogota and then in Cali. Even from the airport I could tell that Colombia is somewhere I want to visit one day. It was warm and the people I ... read more

So it’s been nine days since I last wrote and a ton has happened since then!!! So I got back from Paraguay and got all set to go to work on Monday the 1st of June however I received an email from my new boss that I wouldn’t be able to start until June 6th because the guy I am reporting to, Julian, who is a hell of a guy by the way, was on vacation. So that left me a week to dick around some more in BA and hang out with ABC (Aaron Berry Cook for those of you who haven’t been keeping up). So Monday I got back here and checked into my new hostel, had to leave the madness of the Milhouse because honestly it was killing me slowly. The new hostel ... read more

Last night we went out for a while to get some dinner with Richie, Lauren, Kevin, Brett, and myself. We went to a place called Lido Bar which was pretty solid food, I had a hamburger and fries which was probably the best hamburger I have had in South America since I have been here. It was chilly at dinner! We were all bundled up and this was definitely not what Asuncion was supposed to be like! I thought it was hot here. We went back to the hostel so we could get some more warm clothes on and so Kevin could grab some more money and then we set off for a bar a few blocks away called 904 which was supposed to have 2 for 1 beer however they did not, the promotion had ... read more

We caught the bus from Buenos Aires to Puerto Iguazu at 18.15 and the bus ride wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t the best we’ve had either. The food was scant, the legroom was minimal and the sound quality on the movies was subpar. I took a Xanax and passed out promptly after dinner but the sleep was restless and my dreams were scattered. Normally on the bus there are men in uniforms that serve the food and attend to your needs however these guys were basically just dudes in jeans and t-shirts that gave us food and didn’t offer blankets or pillows, pretty dodgy if you ask me. We made it here to Iguazu and it’s a small town, the weather is hot and the ground is covered with red clay, everywhere even on the pavement. ... read more
