Phrase of the day: Setenta-dos horas en Buenos Aires... Seventy-two hours in Buenos Aires!
Jojo has been studying in Argentina the past few months, so now was one of the best times to visit the country. TACA Airlines, I hope you have good movies.
Yes, you do! Jackie Chan starring in Eat Pray Love; can't get much better than that.
The view while flying somewhere inbetween Ecuador and Peru.
And where the highland turns into dessert in Peru. Pretty cool! I was hoping to see some Nazca(sp?) lines, but no such luck. (Yes, I probably should have looked up where they are before getting on the plane, instead of just looking out the window for two hours, ha).
Besides quality movies, the stewardess(hostess? whichever is correct these days) told us she had to fumigate the plane before take off.
That guy was not pleased one bit! And she is spraying something into the air. Go TACA!
When I landed in Argentina, I was greeted by Jojo. We took a really nice bus to the center of Buenos Aires, near where he lives.
The city was extremely developed, and had a kind of European feel. It was extremely clean and it felt very safe. (And you could drink the tap water!). We walked around for a bit, and he showed me the town.
Seeing as how many of the people are of Italian and Spanish decent, we had to start my trip off properly... with real pizza! Incredible.
