2nd spanish lesson today. dont no if we r getting better or more confused. although we seem to be communicating with a lot more confidence already. helps recognizing the odd word somtimes, is confidence inspiring wen u can understand somthing the locals say and u can converse even just a little. getting better each day anyway.
managed to get on the metro today all but a little paranoid wen the hostel guy told us to put day pack on my front. turns out the gringo is all too conspicuos esp in the big smoke as we saw countless locals with backpacks, but none on their front! but after taking the metro, must say it was a little shakey at 1st, but turned out all good. tok it to the main bus hub and managed to converse well enough in our limited espanole to purchase some tickets for some amazing locations. after iguazu next week, we wil arrive back in b.a at3pm and hop on a bus at 9pm for a 19hr ride to peurto madryn, where we wil stay for a couple of days to see some crazy wildlife on the coast of patagonia. if we r lucky, we mite be in the rite season to see some orcas. penguins, dolphins and all sorts of species ive never heard of also habitat this area.
after this, we r heading to el calafate where we r based to see merino glacier, from wat ive seen on inet and heard, one of the most amazing sites in the world! so thats all booked and now a reality, we r stoked as!
oh yeah, i gota mention how god and cheap the fod is here. had very tasty homemade pasta canelloni and raviolle dishes last nite with una la bottela de la casa tinto (house red!) all for equivalent of around $20!! and the red was so so good! and today i scored yet some more super tasty doughnuts and pastries (custard/jam) and a rather large bag of cheese sticks (adrian would go crazy over these) all for about $2aus!! quite insane.
well, im off to to taste some of la bottella de cerveza ($3.50pesos/$1.8aus) that faye just bought from the hostel.
adios...............
