¨Lo pase bien¨ or ¨It was a good time.¨

I spent last week in Buenos Aires with three friends from NYC, hence the lack of posting. It was an awesome time. We walked around the city, hung out, BS´ed, and saw the breaka breaka almost everyday for a week. The nightlife in BsAs runs wild and deep, deep into the morning, so we did our best to dance the night away, literally. Besides hob nobbing with well dressed Porteños the fellas were pretty swank themselves. They were staying in the Four Seasons….oh la la. I stayed with some friends living in the city and then on the floor of the fellas room for the last two nights. Since I am the poor friend and will be in the midst of deciding on a career, my buddy G… wanted to remind me of the good life. Or at least what life is like with a little cash to spare. To wet my palette with luxury, on our final night, we sat by the pool smoked tasty Cuban cigars and sipped a smooth well aged scotch. Not going to lie it was delicious and for a moment I saw the flash of money bags in my eyes, but alas I don´t think I will so easily be lured to a life of riches. Yet we will see. Ten hours later through the night time blackness I arrived in Cordoba.

I am closing out my time in Cordoba. Only four days remain. I have been wrapping up my classes, saying good bye and taking a few pictures. The first photos of the entire trip. We have an asado planned for the weekend and then I head out for the south. It´s a 50 hour bus ride to the end of the earth. The furthest south one can travel with out a boat to Antartica. The weatherman said it was slightly below freezing on Tierra del Fuego and slightly above freezing where we are planning our first camping trip. The plan is to take a few multi-day camping trips around the mountains, glaciers, lakes, and volcanoes. I bought some boots. Apparently there may still be some snow in these below freezing conditions. I imagine it will be awesome.
