Well the end is near on this fantastic journey. We ended our last night here Buenos Aires with a big celebration for St. Patricks. We met up with a couple of folks form Ireland (Mark and Karen) and a lad from London (Michael). Mark and Karen were on a year long travel and had some awesome stories about their far east adventures. Michael had been traveling here in South America for about 3 months and told us some great stories in particular about working with pumas in Bolivia. Really amazing.
When we got back to the hostel we pretty much passed out. Tells you what kinda evening that was :) However, I was abruptly awakened to the sound of a body thudding the floor. The girl above me had apparently gotten smashed last night and in her tossing and turning spell she fell from the top bunk and smack the ground pretty hard. I immediately jumped up to see if she was alright. Luckily she was fine. I ran into her a bit ago and asked her how she was, and she said she was fine and that she had gotten pretty smashed last night. I looked at her and said, "you don't remember falling off the bed last night do you?" She said "No." Wow!
Today we just putzed around the city and took in some sights. Found a store that didn't except Visa but to American Express. Visa, Everywhere you wanna be except for that place. wtf.
It's going to be really difficult to top this trip. It's an amazing country with lots to offer. From mountains to falls to big city culture and cuisine. There's something sure to meet your desires. Of all the things we did I'd have to say that Iguazu was the most amazing. The sheer beauty and power of those falls is remarkable. We learned quite a bit in a short period of time (we're smart like that). I'll leave you all with one piece of advice if you decide to visit Argentina. Hit up a mercado for change because the ATMs here only give you 100s and no one seems to have change in this country.
