So today we walked! There were a few things that I forgot to pack, mainly an adapter so I could charge and use my computer, (PS I have realized just how addicted I am to technology). So we went into the city and it was very interesting, I only got us lost once. One of the cool parts is that very few people speak English here, so I'm getting a lot of practice with my Spanish. I'm still pretty bad and I have a hard time understanding people but I'm at least understandable. So some fun facts about Argentina. First off style of dress is very different here. I have seen more men with Mullets than I have since the 1980's also matching your clothing is not required nor does it seem to be encouraged. People wear the strangest things, but I kind of like it because it means I don't have to worry about what I wear. The money conversion is another interesting thing. Even though the Argentine peso is 3 to 1 things cost about the same when you convert the money. Things might be slightly cheaper but not by much, but it's okay. It does look strange when you see a T Shirt costing 68 pesos.
The Picture above is me and Jim and the Ariel, the owner of the Hostel that we are currently staying at. And the picture above that is Ariel, Gustavo, me , and Sabrina (another Hostel guest). So far Ariel has treated us very fairly and is a very warm and friendly fellow. Anyways I'll be back on to write again most likely later tonight, but from now haste.
