Greetings from the South of America. I never thought I would be so happy for winter, but after heat waves all through Europe the cold and rain of the Buenos Aires winter is a welcome diversion. Plus, it gives us a chance to use some of the gear we have been lugging around for over four and a half months.
Initial impressions? Awesome. Great steaks, great prices, great people. We are staying at a very friendly little hostel with loads of good people coming and going. The owner and manager is a sommelier as well and has a great selection of Argentinian wines available. Today we had our first spanish class. For those of you out of the loop, we are taking a two-week beginner spanish class. We will be in school for 40 hours in the next two weeks. We have a small class (just 4 of us) and the teachers are really nice. Today's class made our heads hurt a little since it's been about six years since we've had any formal schooling.
What does the future hold for us? This weekend we may head over to Uruguay for a day or two. After our schooling is done we are heading down to Patagonia and Tierra Del Fuego for a little while. Eventually we will travel North through Chile, do some mountain climbing in Bolivia, and explore the ancient wonders of Macchu Picchu in Peru. From there the plan ends and we will make a new one. Stay posted for more developments.
