ON OUR WAY!!
Janine and I before we left...we still look so rested..On our way to the airport we read in the lonely planet that the summers in northern argentina can be
brutal, since we have arived this morning after a 12 hour bus ride we got to see first hand just how brutal it can be.. it´s somwhere in the 100´s right now and the humidity is relentless. We all have bright red sholders after walking around the falls today...and I cant sum them up any other way that truley AWSOME, they are amazing but you get drenched just standing there looking at them, so i did not get a chance to snap the pictures with my digital camera although i took a movie of it. So the photos I have included are from the last few nights two from the fall and the one of janine at the computer is right now. We have done sooo much every day that I can´t belive it´s only our 3rd day here.
The nights here are beautiful... still super hot but perfect, although i´m sure it helps that me and janine are sitting in the only internet cafe with A/C and pina coladas...=) Janine and I were the only ones not tired (what
Phone Booth
CUTE LITTLE PLAZA IN BUENOS ARIES a surprise that i´m not tired) so we just took a little adveture and toured the town in search of ice cream, on a side note let me just tell you that Argentina has the absolute best icecream i have ever tasted in my entire life...creamy wonderfulness...no other way to put it. Anyway on our little adventure just ten min ago we heard drums and wondered down a side street (yes we were a little nervous) and found a group of 20 kids 5-20 years old playing drums in a big circle like I have never heard before ...the rythem they all had was amazing...it´s 11pm here right now and this is a normal Tuesday night, i guess thats what happens when you stop work from 12-6pm for a ciesta in order to take a nap so you can sleep off that drink you had before noon and come back to work refreshed.... . It´s crazy here..and another thing they have no traffic rules, it makes new york seem like nothing, we crossed the street today and I swear the car comming towords us actually sped up..things work so differently here
I just bought 6 kinds of green
VIEW
first hotel in buenos aires...actually a really nice spot olives all stuffed with different things and different seasonings out of bins on the side of the road in a market, this is also somthing we stumbled upon tonight...hope i don´t get sick...mmmm.
Ok we are no longer going to the ruins, instead tomorrow we are going to the falls again, but we are going to the lower falls and taking a boat tour that takes you right up to the water falls, then we are heading into the jungle on a tour...can´t wait! The jungle/rainforest here is a lot like costa rice...actually a lot if it is...but the towns remind me more of guatemala..except for this one, it´s got that far away untouched feel like some of the costa rican towns. When you get into the national park of igazu then it´s super touristy, i felt like i was on the trian ride at san diego wild animal park for a min. Sorry this is so long, i´m sure you stoped reading at the second paragraph but I didn´t even include the half of it..
I´ve put up some pics of our trip so far.
Ps- i can´t figure out how to do spell check so
car ride
You can drink in the car here!!! where was that 10 months ago!! i´m not even going to bother...i already spelled it wrong the first time so i probably wouldn´t catch it again anyway...
Love you
jenn
