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 »

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 »

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 »

I will soon be getting my first visitor from home on my trip. My friend Andrea will be visiting me in Buenos Aires around April 10-17 (the dates aren't quite finalized… Read More »

Day 128
I wanted to make sure I was healthy before heading to Antarctica, so today I just chilled out for the most part. I had breakfast at my hostel for about three hours, napped for a few more, and spent most of the rest of the day on the Internet.… Read More »

Day 127
I woke up this morning to the pitter-patter of a downpour splashing against the tent. None of us wanted to take down camp while it was raining so hard, so we waited for an hour or so for it to pass. Luckily, the rain completely stopped for half an… Read More »

Day 126
We still had a few days before our cruise to Antarctica, so John, Craig, an Australian who has done some treks with John before, and I decided to go on a multi-day trek in the area. We walked for several hours today through the national park near Ushuaia. The… Read More »

Day 125
Today I went to the Maritime Museum in Ushuaia. Built out of an old prison, there was an atrium at the center with around five wings jutting out from the sides. Each cell contained its own exhibit.
One wing was dedicated to the old prison. I… Read More »
