Well, I´ve missed a couple of days due largely to laziness and to a lack of sleep from staying up late, getting up early for the plane, and then not sleeping much while flying. I think I had two and half hours of sleep before the flight and then another 3-5 during the course of the flights, for a grand total of around 6 for two days...It was rough.
Today we traveled around buenos aires, in shorts and t-shirts weather. To get where we were going we mostly rode the subway, which i thought was a lot of fun. It seems like a major way of transport for the city and was so crowded at times that literally one more person couldn´t get on. The coolest thing I though was the cementery called cementario recelota (I think). It was amazing and huge. All the graves were crypts, massive statues, or a combination of the two; we probably wondered around in there for about an hour and only saw a little over half of the cementery. I wish I could show you the pictures but i found out that the one thing i forget was the usb connector for my camera, i´ll have to buy one i guess.
Buenos Aires is absolutely beautiful though. The city is filled with parks, massive statues everywhere, beautiful gardens, and wonderful buildings. We´re staying in the San Telmo district which seems like an older districts with small streets, cobbled walkways that are falling apart in places, and just more beautiful buildings, while its old its still nice. Downtown was much more like American cities modern and busy, but with parks mixed in. I think at some points the roads downtown were 10 lanes wide, going one way.
The hostel is also nice. Very friendly peoople from a mix of countries and cultures. Everyone gets along and is finds a way to communicate. I wish I knew more languages, everyone else seems to know at least two.
Well its been a long day, time for bed.
