Day 154

Jack and I spent most of the day wandering around Rosario today. We quickly realized that we should have left yesterday as there is not much for tourists to do here. At some point in the afternoon, sloth caught up with both of us and we decided to check… Read More »

Questions Answered, Part V

1. What one thing you wish you had brought from US?

When I first started my trip, I wished I had brought some warm clothes. I figured Peru was near the equator, so it would be hot all the time there. I didn't even bring a long sleeved shirt. That plan backfired bigtime. Most of… Read More »

Day 153

Between extremely long sessions of eating and drinking outside, Jack and I took a long walk around town today. The city is nicer than I previously thought. Yesterday, I didn't venture too far from my hotel, and I thought Rosario was pretty run down. I guess I'm just staying… Read More »

Off to Rosario

February 27, 2006
Day 152

Today Jack and I took off to Rosario, a few hours to the west of Gualiguaychu. All we had enough time to do after the bus ride was find a hotel and take a quick walk around town. The city has over one million people, but it doesn't look… Read More »

Day 149

I wasn't quite sure where to go next, but I knew that Carnaval was coming up, so I wanted to go somewhere where I could watch the festival. Jenny, with whom I had gone to the Rolling Stones concert, and Jack, an American at my hostel, were going to… Read More »

February 23, 2006
Day 148

The Rolling Stones happened to be in Buenos Aires this week. I'm not really a fan, so I wasn't going to go. However, Jenny, an English girl at my hostel, had some extra tickets and convinced me that it might be my last chance to see them. They may… Read More »

Catch Up Time

February 20-22, 2006
Day 145-147

The cruise really drained me. I was "burning the candle at both ends" for two solid weeks, so I needed some time to get caught back up on my blog, photos, and most importantly, sleep. For the last three days, I walked around Buenos Aires a bit and hung… Read More »
