Barcelona


Ended up in Barcelona last minute but had a blast! My friend Lorna was there too and so she showed me all the places she always goes to. Tapas, the beach, La Rambla, the Gothic District, Indian food, and walking walking walking! I saw so many new sides of the city. The weather was gorgeous and I felt no guilt eating those delicious chocolate croissants the next morning after my five hour sight seeing walking tour!!

Pisa



Went to Pisa for work and took my mom with me !! WOW! The italians are hot... and the city itself is pretty nice too..that Leaning Tower is seriously leaning... ; )

Locas!!




What a whirlwind week! My mom and I have been doing so much. Saturday we went to the National Horse Derby here in Buenos Aires to watch the annual "derby" and yesterday we took the bus out to San Antonio de Areco, home of the "guachos" where I had been earlier this year. Yesterday was the Day of Tradition and they celebrate that with a huge guacho festival in the "birth town" of the guacho. There were thousands of horses and all kinds of shows and processions.

finally.....






so I'm going to try and make a come back into the world of the bloggers. It's been so long since my last post and so much has happened I don't even know where to start. I can't beleive that I haven't written a decent post since May. All right..here goes.

I'll pick up somewhere in between now and where I left of last...About two months ago Alan and I decided to go our separate ways- we had different ideas of how we saw our futures. Thankfully we are still very good friends and there are no hard feelings.

My friend Marieke from Holland had been planning to come down to Argentina to visit me and this new development (of me being single) opened up the chance for the two of us to backpack through the north of Argentina for two and a half weeks. It was amazing-!! I returned back to work after that for three back to back trips and am now down in Buenos Aires with my mom( it's her first time here) for about a week and a half. We are staying in a friend's beautiful apartment that she rents out in the heart of the nicest neighborhood of the city. I will be moving into my new aparment with my friend Steffen in the middle of December about ten blocks from here.

Mom and I arrived on Tuesday morning and have spent these last days touring the city by foot, cab, bus and subway. We are worn out-!! There is so much to see here, even I see new things all the time and I thought I knew it all.. hahaha

I'll attach some pictures of my travels through the north of Argentina....besos
