As usual, I’ve been quite busy. Here’s the summary…
First I’ll start with the big announcement. Starting February 1st, I’ll be traveling from here in Buenos Aires, Argentina to New York City by only land transportation. Yes, it’s a long long way up there. With nearly spending 4 months in Buenos Aires, I’m getting the itchy travel feeling to go somewhere and keep moving. Busing it to Salta, Argentina and from there into Bolivia, Peru, etc all the way north. Of course staying in each destination for a few days doing the exploring thing. I’m having a mini rush just thinking about this new trip. To add, Teresa will be coming to Buenos Aires on the 24th and is coming along on the trip. Should be a good time! Back to what backpacking is all about. I’m extremely limited on cash so this will require a bit more on the “roughing it” end.
Thank you!! I’ve recently received a donation though someone I don’t know at all from djskylab.com. It came from making a thread over at NCC Message Board about my trip plans and then I suddenly received a Private Message from a member. He was in Buenos Aires a few years ago and my blog had reminded him of his time in Buenos Aires. The message said to buy a drink on him. Thanks again!!! That was extremely kind and very unexpected.
My brother and sister visited me in Buenos Aires. I’d love to write about what we did everyday but it’d be far too much writing and I’m way behind already. It’s a shame but believe me when I tell you that we had an amazing time. Nothing like Grandma’s home cooked food! Then the relaxed garden she has puts you in another world. Cristian has grown so much since I last saw him 8 months earlier. Joanna is looking great as well! Ah it was so good to see them again. Many randomness. A quick thing on what we did.
- Joanna, Marina, and I went to Bomba Del Tiempo. Crazy!
- Went to the Buenos Aires Zoo with Cristian, Joanna, Grandma and I.
- Ate at Siga la vaca with Cristian, Joanna, Grandma and I.
- Days of random shopping.
- Street of Serrano with Joanna and tagging along with random people. Met up with Lisa and Emiko as well at their hostel.
- iPhone got lots of attention with Cristian.
- Drinking night out with our uncle and aunt with Joanna.
- Asado!
And tons of more random things that made for a good 2 weeks of fun. I miss them already. *Sigh* See you guys again soon!
Continuing my tango. Still taking Tango classes and in between taking Rock and Salsa. Getting the hang out of it and love it a lot.
I have two CouchSurfers staying over. Thought I’d let my place open up for CouchSurfers so right now I have two people staying with me. Israeli and Aussie guy. Both just backpacking along South America. Very interesting stories and learning a few recipes from the Israeli guy. Nice people. Last few days we been just hanging out. Watched Sherlock Holmes drunk. Went to Bomba of course. Tango. Tons of Mate. And lots and lots of cooking. It’s nice because we have a full house here and everyone just chips in to whatever with cleaning, cooking, etc. CouchSurfers make a good team.
Well not much else. Just excited to get to traveling again. Still volunteering at LIFE. I’ve been coordinating at Laferrere and meeting some wonderful people there that I hope to stay in touch with after I leave. I’ll likely update again sometime next week I hope. Perhaps with more details next time.
