Three Bums in the Park

I'm in Rosario, the birthplace of El Che. I went for a walk today and saw the house he was born in. Pretty historic looking. Makes me realize that our historic buildings look very temporary since they're all of wood. After the house I went to the park along the river, which is kinda...

Making Friends

In email to Gary: haha, yeah, the hostel is actually some what of a dump. A dump, but a bohemian dump with heaps of character and heaps of characters. Last night I watched another movie with the Colombian rasta. School of Rock this time and thankfully with Spanish subtitles. Dubbed flicks...

Happy Canada Day!

So I was late on my second go to pick up Jordan. The funny thing is Julio arrived less than 2 minutes after me to get Jordan. Then the three of us and Julio's wife Noemi spent the next 3 weeks together around Buenos Aires and Neuquen (which is a palandrome!). And, well, we were spoiled. We...

Karma

I came to the Buenos Aires airport today to meet Jordan. It's a tedious 2 hour cold bus ride from the city centre. I was a little late, but still waited over 3 hours and he never showed up. On the bright side his flight is supposed to arrive tomorrow.

Culture Shock

Crossing the border from Villazón, Bolivia, to La Quiaca, Argentina, showed the difference money makes. Beyond cleaner streets and political posters replacing political graffiti, the lady selling orange juice on the corner wasn't sporting the classic Quechua bowler hat and a colorful blanket...

First stop, Mendoza (that is after Atlanta & Buenos Aires!)

We left San Juan and flew to Atlanta first. In Atlanta airport, I saw few 747s for the first time. It was funny to see a corn plane in the airport.

I was virtually kidnapped?

Last night I went out. I visited a bar, then headed to a boliche (club). After leaving the boliche I discovered my phone was missing. Go back to find it? Why bother.. Funny thing is, someone apparently stole it and used it to call and threaten my friends. They wanted to get information about...
