Dec 4 3:00 EL Calafate Currently I am sitting in front of the laundry place waiting for it to open. Two shirts was not quite enough for three weeks of travel and hiking. Yesterday we went to see the Perito Moreno glacier and it was pretty incredible. We started with the boat ride and I [...]  Nov 26 8:00 Tourism Zaahj bus to Calafate The Tourism Zaahj bus is very comfortable, clean and new. It costs 11,000 Chilean pesos and is filled with people who are much more mature than I am.

We took the bus from the international airport to Copacabana. Our bus driver was very friendly and he let us know when we needed to get off the bus. After getting off the bus, we stopped at the first [...] We just returned from a pretty incredible trip to Rio de Janeiro. It was an amazing trip and I will write more and post the pictures soon. To celebrate the Día del Libertador José de San Martín, I took a 16 hour omnibus ride with my compañera and two amigos to Puerto Iguazu to see the Iquazu falls. We spent three days exploring the falls and taking pictures. [...] Now that the girlfriend is in school, I finally have time to write about my first weekend in Beunos Aires.
