Kepfram & Ellie's Travel Journal

Welcome to Argentina!Population: 39 million people
Currency: Argentine Peso, $3.08310AR = $1US
Capital: Buenos Aires
Food: Beef, lots of beef (distinct cuts of grass fed meaty goodness, salted, grilled & slow roasted). There are also lots other grilled specialties that we won't be trying like different sausages, & roasted organs that don't sound so good, but the dulce de leche we will be trying.
Roads: Still nice & there lots of options for busses (from 1st class to coach).


Black People Count thus far: about 12, we encountered a tour group from the West Indies on a mountain overlook so I'm not sure if I should count them or not. Ellie's past exprience in Argentina led her declare it "The Whitest Place on Earth," we'll see if that holds true this visit.
Itinerary: skiing in San Carlos de Bariloche, wine tasting in Mendoza, visit the Iguazu Falls Park, study spanish & tango in Buenos Aires for a month, & take a ferry over to Uruguay for a weekend.

Bye-bye Chile!
So our bus trip was comfortable & uneventfull. It was a pretty ride across the Andes, even on a rainy day it was impressive. It was kinda like going from the US to Canada, the customs people weren't tense, they did random searches of our bags, & we didn't feel like our bus was going to leave us.
I'm really hoping that our money will go a bit further here than it did in Chile, we'll see...
