February 13th-15th, Mendoza and Buenos Aires, Argentina
Two rainy chilled out days in Mendoza. I've been reading a lot which makes me happy, but also makes me super unsocial. Bernie hung out with a Chilean Police Inspector at the hostel, here with his family. He's such a nice guy, loves chatting but in super quick Spanish. We've regressed to him excitedly saying 'One Direction' and 'Tom Jones' to me every time we cross each other! At 12 am on the 14th, Bernie surprised me with ice cream and chocolates and wine; I didn't even remember that it was Valentines Day!
Last night, the 14th, we got on a 12 hour bus and today we're in Buenos Aires!!! We haven't left the hotel all day, pretty tired but we have a lot of time (approx 10 days) in BA because we decided to skip traveling to the South of Argentina. Gotta pick your travels in these big countries, don't want to be hopping on and off buses every night.
Tonight, Chis who owns this hostel cooked a dinner of steak and empanadas for a group of 10 of us. The empanadas were amazing, the steak would've been better if the Argentinians didn't eat theirs well done. In true Argentinian style, dinner was served at 11:30 pm and now it's 2:30 am and we're waiting for everyone to get ready so we can leave to party!
