I have stopped writting a lot of the things I was going to write about. There was a list of 6 questions that I wanted to answer everyday. I quickly stopped answering them. Today is the best time to start. I should maybe be writting this later - at the close of the day but here I am, waiting for the train to leave. 1) What made me laugh? Dancing empanadas at the intersection of Cordoba and Leonardo N Alem. They danced and waved to bad electronic music in front of the cars stopped at the traffic light and they had a man who would blow a whistle telling them the light had changed and they needed to move out of traffics way. They were advertising for Solo Empanadas, which is a restaurant that sells ONLY ... read more

This was our day to sleep in. However, we did get up at 10:00 AM in order to enjoy the breakfast in the Palace Alvear that finished at 11:00. Breakfast in L’Orangerie We had another great feast at L’Orangerie and this wasn’t even their ‘signature’ buffet brunch. There was cereals, toast, bagels, lox, cream cheese, eggs and pastries, champagne, fresh orange juice, and coffee. It was a good start to the day! Wandering the Streets of Bs As After breakfast we left the hotel and started walking to where the shopping area and flea market were located. It was actually a pretty good hike. The stores are located in a centralized area with the streets going east/west for cars and the streets going north/south blocked off for pedestrians. It was busy with local shoppers and tourists. ... read more

Hola everybody! :) Just want to update you on what i've been doing the last few weeks.. First of all happy 21st birthday to my sister, Sarah! I hope you get completly wasted so that no one can recognize you, you're so funny when you get pissed, like at my farewell when you sang that song from Ghost, oh it gave me shivers... and by the way, you have so many fans! I am your biggest, of course... :) So, I eventually left Mendoza, had an incredible time there and met so many cool people. On approaching my last days there, Dave and I went on a day trip to Puenta Del Inca and Uspallata. Only four hours away from Mendoza, we decided the night before that we were going to catch a bus at 6am, ... read more

Week three highlights: After going out all weekend I woke up on Monday, did some spanish home work, went for a siesta (from 4pm to 8pm), read more Harry Potter (which I have finished) and then had a conversation with the girl at the front desk. IN spanish mind you. She is really into tourism and really wants to travel. I felt bad telling her about how long I have gone for, how long I will be gone for and where I will be going. Just not sure how feasible it is for her. Rugby practice was very, very tiring. Apparently the games that I missed on the weekend did not go well, and that always means a tough practice on tuesday...always. You do not have to understand spanish to know this. We were run into ... read more
