34°36′12″S 58°22′54″W


6712 so after a bunch of travel we are here. first on the 4th of july, after not sleeping enough i flew MKE to BOS, then i hung out with the accident prone lil girl from Prague, and stayed up prolly too late talking to another prime ladyfriend. waking up to see her off to work at like 8am on the 5th, i did my best to stay awake (which means i didnt) and cut out of her empty apartment round 1045, unfortunately she had nothing worth stealing. ride back to Logan was unexciting, wandered around till i found a bunch of the group, and proceeded through security to hop on the flight to Miami and promptly fall asleep. had some more time to burn in Miami before departing for Buenos Aires. first off we got there, walking up the jetway and it was cold. i loved it, after 100sh degree days in Milwaukee 30 was appreciated, we paid our 160USD for a ten-year visa, got pictures/fingerprints taken, and were off to our buses to take us to our respective homestay. its 7 in the morning. the lack of time change effected me the worst, all of my long flights have been East or West, so that there is also a time difference, and any lack of sleeping on the plane is made up for by losing/gaining a day in timechange, however we only lost an hour across the 9 hour flight to Buenos Aires. i slept through much of the busride through the city, however it wasnt very interesting with morning in-flow rush hour traffic there wasnt all that much to see. my homestay is with a guy in his 30s, Demian, his girlfriend, and his cat. he seems like a cool guy, from what it sounds like he works from home, speaks good enough english, and is neither overbearing nor completely absent. i have had limited contact with the girlfriend, but she is working on her english so im sure the mutual vocabulary exchange will help get my spanish back on track. the cat is still a kitten, and very friendly, and as kittens do she plays very hard, and sleeps harder. she sits with me as i write this
and 45 seconds later, this was the situation
i napped much of the day away, and will be going to sleep shortly, tomorrow we have a walking tour, and will see who lives where in the city, so that we can hang out with them at cafes n whatnot at night, cause apparently no one sleeps here. more to say and show tomorrow
