Buenos Aires Argentina

ARGENTINA | Thursday, 17 July 2014 | Views [496]

Buenos Aires is a big city. Some say there are 13 million people in the area. As you walk the streets, every few seconds you hear someone saying cambio,cambio, cambio. it's a black market money exchange. In retrospect maybe I should've taken advantage of it. When I left Argentina had about 25 or $30 worth of Argentine pesos. No one at the Rome or Athens airport money exchanges wanted anything to do with the Argentine peso. I guess I'll have to get back to Argentina sometime. Anyhow was able to find a hostel on a pedestrian street. Big place. I had a choice of sharing a room with seven other people or having a room to myself. Maybe age or having a couple more dollars than I had at 20, I opted for the private room. No tv, that's ok. Did the usual tourist stuff. See pictures, maybe not. Having trouble downloading due to questionable wifi.

A quick recap. I visited 19 countries in 212 days, traveled 46,000 miles by air,15,000 miles by land and spent about $25,000. My feet got beat up a few times and I twisted my ankle a couple of times.  No plane, train, car, bus, tuk tuk or taxi mishaps, not even a fender bender. I wasn't threatened or harassed and amazingly enough I didn't lose anything. It's hard to believe seven months have passed. As I said in my first entry.....a wonderful way to celebrate 60 years of living. It sure was!
