Day 159
I decided to make this a museum day. First, I attempted to find Dr Ara's museum in one of the city's hospitals. Dr Ara uses the same mummification technique as the guy who made Evita Peron and Vladimir Lenon's mummies. Not many people want to go see a bunch… Read More »

Day 159
I took an overnight bus to Cordoba last night, and arrived at around 7:00 AM. I went to a hostel that someone had recommended to me and tried to get some sleep. As soon as I laid down, I noticed a problem: loud music was blaring from a dance… Read More »

Day 158
I went to a park this afternoon with Laura and some of her friends. We sat around and drank mate for a few hours. Everyone else at the park was sitting around and drinking mate, too. At some point when we we were sitting there, I finally truly realized… Read More »

Day 157
I went with Laura early this morning to nearby Parana, a city slightly smaller and much more hilly than Santa Fe. Laura had been taking photography classes there and needed to pick up her license. It was a nice place to walk around with lots of parks and a… Read More »

Day 156
There isn't much for tourists to do in Santa Fe, so Laura suggested that I check out Cayasta, a small town about an hour and a half away that is near the original location of Santa Fe. A bus dropped me off in front of a museum displaying artifacts… Read More »

Day 155
The next city on my way toward Salta in the north of Argentina was Santa Fe, the capital of the Santa Fe province. It's smaller than Rosario, but still has over half a million people. The best part about going to Santa Fe was that it gave me another… Read More »

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 »
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 »

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 »
