Well we are feeling MUCH better today. After an all night bus ride from Mendoza to Buenos Aires, my relatives have most graciously offered us to stay at their home for a few nights in the surburbs of this massive city. Nice little spot called Hurlingham. So we managed to find the train station just down the street from the bus station and we even got on the right train. Took about an hour, passing some pretty grungy neighbourhoods I must say. But they were right there to meet us. It's so nice to hear people speaking good English for a change! So we're going to get ourselves cleaned up. But most of all we're happy just to feel safe for a little while. After all the stress of yesterday in Mendoza it's nice to have somewhere to sit and relax and not have to look over your shoulder every five seconds wondering when and if someone is goin to snatch the bag off your back.

But I think we're going to feel better after a few days. We're not too worried about going to travel again but we'll feel much better in a couple of days. Plus I kindof need a chance to replenish some of my supplies (like get a sweater or something with long sleeves!!) andmaybe look for a new camera. Time for a shower (long overdue!!) lol

gives a whole new meaning to "Smell ya later"
