Today i will make my way to see the Iguazu falls from the Argentinian and Brazilian border. This would involve my first long distance bus journey, 6 hours to Sau paulo and then 14 hours to Iguazu. The buses here are amazing, like 1st class on a plane , big seats that fully recline into beds, f…

'.......aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh...........'Since arriving two days ago, I've been looking for a  better word to describe Iguazu; obviously, still searching.  Doubtless, I haven't breathed air this oxygenated nor felt (no, you still can't drink it) water this fresh in years.   Recove…

Soccer deserves its own entry in this blog.  I was in search for a soccer team to adopt in South America.  These decisions cannot be taken lightly.  They involve careful consideration of stadiums, traditions, uniform colors, supporters, riots, and some measure of on-field performance…

Let's see, I moved in to the residence on the 4th, and it is now the what 19th. Well I have done alot in that time, mainly a lot of drinking...but it was all necessary to do. I have a wonderful roommate, her name is Elise and she's from Tennessee...actually there are quite a few people from my prog…

In less than five hours I will be on that cramped little airplane back to the U.S. of A. I am pleased to be going back to what is normal and familiar but still none the less, wishing that I could explore South America tons more. Despite all the events that have made this trip something similar to C…

I'm ready(estoy lista). I can feel that it's time for me to come home. I have definitely enjoyed my time spent here, but I'm ready to see some familiar faces. I think that for my first trip abroad that this was the perfect length. I just got used to everything. I know where I am, what I like here, …

The border crossings are a breeze with the budget expeditions tour so I still have all of my stuff after crossing from Peru to Argentina.  The road was long and rough to get to Salta with a night of free camping along the way.  Salta had a much more urban and modern fell to it than any of…

Tomorrow we are leaving for a new adventure, one that I am honestly very excited about. We are leaving for Florianopolis Brazil which from what I have gathered so far is a much slower-paced city in Southern Brazil. It is an island off the southern coast of Brazil, and is the capital of Santa Cateri…

The bus ride from Santiago to Mendoza was quite spectacular - up into and through the Andes. We could see the ski lifts from the ski resorts, idling above the dry land (only barely sprinkled with snow). Border crossing was relatively easy, and our bags didn´t even get checked. Tash and I decided 1…

Stories and photos from my month-long trip through Argentina in january of 2008.

  Although I went to bed late, or early from the next day, I asked for a wake up call at 7:30am in order to go to the gym.   This was our last day in Buenos Aires. We were leaving the country at 4pm in order to fly to Santa Cruz. Happily it was our free day too. Now it was the opportun…

Back in Foz do Iguaçú!!! What a relief!! Getting here was a pain and took a while, but it was worth it all!! And hey, the important thing is that we got here! And twice!! No regrets! The Iguazu Waterfalls were absolutely breathtaking!The first time 'round we were in such a hurry to make it to Rio…

BUS JOURNEY After missing one bus we were determined to not miss another. We made sure we were at the station in plenty of time, crossing the Bolivian border as soon as it opened at 7am and booking our ticket on the Argentinian side this time. The bus was amazing, very comfortable seats and the r…

It's about Argentina, started in Buenos Aires, then Peninsulda Valdes, El Calafate, Torres del Paine in Chili. Then we went to the most southern city of the world, Ushuaia. Our last stop was a visit to the spectacular Iguazu falls at the border of Argentina and Brasil.
