Bueno's Aires, day 7





the day begins as it has for the last 5, get up, have a ciggarette, go

for coffee, now of I seem to be getting my fix for coffee back, that

and all the green tea i bough has been drank, no worries though, i

prefer the coffee. And with it being just a hop skip and a jump to

the cofe its easy peasy.

Now that the coffee has been drank and the body cleaned, and yes that

shower felt wonderful, i like the hot water in plentiful supply. the

search is beginning without having to spend a small fortune to get to

cuzco to see Macchu Picchu and to Quito in time to catch my flight

home. this is where the magic of travel agents comes into play.

The travel agents worked there majic all right, but weren't able to

come up with anything better than i could find, in all to do machu

picchu and get to quito would run about 1.5k...thats alot, so i will

suffer, (not really) through a couple more days in buenos aires and

enjoy what the city has left to offer me.

Being that i still haven't eaten its time for lunch, so einav and I

headed to the cafe a block from the hostels that the israeli's have

labled the olds...it seems the name in spanish has a meaning of the

young (i think), and so the waiters that work there are all old, thus

the knickame.

After working through the travel plans that didn't quite pan out i

decided to wait a day and figure things out tomorrow. In the mean

time Einav has invited me to join him for dinner. He is making

homemade hummus, now this should be good.

after taking a nap after lunch it was time to get ready for dinner, of

course the portions here are huge, so i was still trying to work my

way through the lunch that was sitting heavy on my stomach. Oncce it

finally came time to eat, i was good, not necessarily hungry again,

but ready to eat, that seems to be the common theme since i arrived

here, the meal portions are so huge that you just waddle from one meal

to the other, this is not the kind of place to go if your on a diet!

after dinner it was getting late, and i had a self perscribed busy day

ahead of me, trying to work through travel arrangements to get to

quito, as well as attempting to work something into the trip that

hasn't been seen yet, not limited to the countries that i wasn't gonna

be able to see, so far i'm gonna have to try again for Guyana,

Paraguay, Bolivia, and Chile, so 8 of the 13 is what i was able to

make it through, not quite 75%, but well worth the effort, especially

after its all said and done, potentially 9 days in Buenos aires.
