Ciao Ciao Sur America

---

Elizabeth and I have to catch a flight at 2:30am on the 19th...So we are both scrambling to pack our bags before heading out...Surprise, Surprise but we were both confused on the date and almost completely missed our flight by 24 hours...Although we are both sad to leave South America we are excited to travel to a new place...(Secretly, I think we are both a little tired of the language barrier)...Yesterday, we went to this huge drum show...It´s a band of like 24 drummers that perform in an open air setting...Everyone is jumping around and dancing to the music...Some last pointers about Argentina...Counterfeit bills are common...In total Elizabeth and I received some where around 250 pesos worth of fake bills...Also, many places are the void of change, and banks only give out 100 pesos bills...So, some stores will flat out refuse your purchase because they don´t have the cambio to give you...All in all, although the travel books describe South America as a place where you have to watch out for scams and thieves...Elizabeth and I felt very safe the entire time...The people were really nice and the culture was extremely interesting...Will write as soon as we have some Kiwi experiences...love you all!!!! K and E
