The last few days in Buenos Aires were spent wandering the streets during the day and hanging out with Alex, Carolina and Vicki sipping wine and playing Truco at night.
BA is a huge city and I started to notice the incredible artwork adorning the streets. Some drawn by restaurant owners and others simply by graffiti artists. It was as good as any museum, so I started taking some pictures of the art. Here are a few of the ones I really liked!
A big thank you to Alex and Carolina for putting up with us and sharing their home not to mention their delicious mimosas! We had some great nights together and look forward to the next time!
As for now... we are back. Back to the home of the brave. It was a serious culture shock landing at Jacksonville international. Huge highways littered with billboards. Massive box stores and endless fast food. Oh and its hot. Really hot. We walked around the sprawling city of Jacksonville, getting to know the bus systems and people watching. We discovered a great arts market down by the river where we sampled creole sauces and listened to great live music.
Today we hit up the farmers market with our couchsurfing hosts Jeff and Leny. It has been a cool experience even if a bit overwhelming. There are many things I appreciate after being away from it all for so long. One main one being the fact that we are lucky enough to be able to simply flush our toilet paper down the toilet. Oh the simple joys. Time is moving on and tomorrow will officially be one year from when we left. It feels like no time at all, but when I think back to everything we have done its amazing to think we have done it all in only one year.
We are now again in the waiting game for the van. When will it arrive? When will it be released from customs? Lots of questions and fewer answers... but for the moment I am going to take it all in and hit up the pool. It could be worse...
