I am what you call "Geographically Retarded"

After some deep soul searching, I am officially at peace with the ridiculous Argentine vendors who won't sell me chocolate when I want to pay with a $100 peso bill. They are unofficially chill with me. I now have a beef with the Treasury/the printing press man. These a$$clowns are officially dead to me.

I left the massive amounts of falling water and the spring break scene in Iguazu Falls, and went back to Buenos Aires last weekend. The crew went out Friday night, and all of us woke up Saturday with unyielding conviction to never go out again.

Since then, I hopped an overnight bus to Cordoba, the second largest city in Argentina, to meet up with a friend I met a few weeks back. Liz and I went out last night, and I woke up today with unyielding conviction to never go out again.

The bus ride from Buenos Aires to Cordoba marked the beginning of the most assinine trip (geographically) that has probably ever been put together. In the next 2-3 weeks, I will probably log over 200 hours of bus time, 5,100 miles and re-cross my tracks at least twice. My travel agent is an idiot.

Please picture a map of the United States of America: Once you have located Atlanta, GA, imagine I take a bus to Kansas, and then continue northward to Nebraska, followed by a festive transfer via 4 x 4 to Chicago (to see a lot of salt). Then south to St. Louis and finally back to Atlanta (to get my computer and see friends from the states). Whereby, I will then take a bus from Atlanta to New Mexico (to get a my sleeping bag and get beat in Tennis by my Chilean mom), and continue northward via bus to Wyoming. Then I will cross the Wyoming/Montana Border patrol and drive 10 hours to Cuzco, Peru.

I bet none of you thought Machu Picchu was in Montana.

Chill with Me: Argentine Vendors laughing at my 'Benjamins', Olga, Shats, People giving me horn, Stray Dogs.

On Notice: Hangovers, Not outsourcing my travel planning, Dish rags, dogs.

Dead to Me: The Secretary of the Treasury, Mamushka Chocolate Store, salami.
