Day 208
As soon as I got up this morning, I called the Brazilian embassy to ask about buying a visa. I got a recording that said they were only open from 2-5, so I had to wait a few hours. At 2:00, I walked to the embassy, but was told… Read More »

Day 207
The party last night was late, but not very significant otherwise. It was pretty funny when people kept asking me how long I've been in Buenos Aires and I would say, "2 hours." Before I knew it, it was 8:00 and time for me to get to sleep, but… Read More »

Day 201
My main mission for today was to get to Uruguay. I started out the day by looking around for cheaper tickets than the one I found yesterday. I found a company that would sell me a return ticket to Montevideo for one third of the other company's going price,… Read More »

Day 200
After Andrea left, I had a lot of work to do. My website seemed to be hopelessly behind, so I needed to spend a lot of time uploading pictures and writing blog entries. However, I also needed to squeeze in some relaxation, and visions of Uruguay were dancing through… Read More »
