Pickpocketing Pickpocketers

Hola todos I know its been a long time since the last post. But, there has been more school lately so please bare with me. Lately I have become more and more adjusted, or I guess acclimated towards the night life here. I have come to notice that a nap right around 6 at night seems to do the job in order to make out until 7 in the morning. I have conquered the buss system (kinda). I have been questioned many times by portenos on "Where does this buss go or that one over there?" And I have been happy to tell them, "Yo se." So it is pretty cool to tell people what buss number they need to get on, especially when I am the person usually saying, "Perdon," -then put the hand over the mouth to think for a second how I'm going to say the rest of my sentence- adonde....." It's nice to be forced into answering questions rather than just saying, "I don't know." Another ting I have noticed every time I watch the Angels play on the computer or at a bar they always lose. So to show my commitment I am only listening to the game via the radio while typing this little post out. (They better not get swept by the Red Sox, again.)


Here we have the sunset on our way to Igazu Falls. (I went with Kylie) I do believe the falls are considered the second largest chain of waterfalls in the world, not to sure, someone wikipedia it. Another cool thing about the falls is it borders Paraguay and Brasil as well. These photos were taken about 4 hours outside of Bs.As. we only had 14 more hours left on the buss, no biggie.-The trip after that was to Bariloche where the round trip was 40 hours, I will have photos later once the computer situation works better.- It is nice to see a sunset here. i kept keeping in mind something my brother told me while we were on the roof of Evan's house overlooking San Fransisco, "Man it's nice, I haven't seen the horizon in months." Now I know what he means. I think I've only seen the sunset cinco veces aca, little alone any form of a horizon as I have expressed the huge size this city has.






So above is what they feed you three times a day on any of the buss rides you take. It is a no bueno. And the photos that follow are our hostel, Brasil, Paraguay, a monkey, and a little taste of the falls. The birds in the opening when standing next to me came up to my belly-button. Huge! And I kid you not, I lost count at around 384, they covered this place black. I must mention how loud it is at this place. It sounds and feels like jets taking off, in a soothing way though.



The falls were to grand that I couldn't even capture them in one frame. I'll stitch them together when and if I come home. That is a Sheraton emblem, we had to take a rest and get away from the rain.

This fall was the strongest of all of them. And Kylie and I decided to take a boat trip towards it, so we thought. They actually take you underneath and we became engulfed by the water. I bought a video of our experience, so we must have juice and popcorn night at my house to watch. Jozef I'm sorry you were not able to make it here. I kept you in mind the whole time though. How could I not? When every morning Matt and I were woken up to, "guys we, we must go to Igazu."
So out and about I stumbled on this band www.myspace.com/ondavaga . Amazing. Please check! I really didn't stumble on them the were introduced to by my buddies: www.myspace.com/gulareggae and www.myspace.com/martinsus Both dudes are super nice guys. They always show me the cool things, invite me to there shows, and little jam sessions we have at Martin's bar; that he closes for us so we can have a music session. So any who hope all is well with everyone and I'll talk to you later. Next stop will be this weekend to Cordoba for Oktoberfest, details will come....chau chau
