Now,
here are some pictures from both my very wet and cold horse riding
experience and some images from the painting retreat in the
picturesque cottage in Patagonia. Please see the photo gallery.
I
am back in Buenos Aires finally, after a 20 hour bus ride. Pew. But
the buses are amazing here. So luxurious, so really I have nothing to
complain about. I left a very cold, windy and rainy-snowy Bariloche
and arrived in a beautiful, warm, sunny springiny Buenos Aires. What
a gift. I took all the extra layers of clothing off and went up on
the terrace that is on the roof of our hostel and sat in the sun. It
was so warm!
It
was great to see Roy again, and although he has been down with a cold
for a few days (he is much better now), he and I just went for a slow
Sunday walk and had ice cream with all the other porteños
(people who live in Buenos Aires).
It
has done me very good to get out of the city for about 2 weeks. I can
feel how I am calmer and I just pray that I will be able to keep this
feeling although the city is intense and I need to be on guard here.
More than I ever have in my life, actually.
At
the moment me and Roy are looking into changing the dates for our
tickets and we will try to stay here for another 6 weeks if we can
(which is 3 weeks longer than the initial plan). Our next stop on the
trip was going to be Tonga, an island in the Pacific Ocean, but since
there has been a tsunami there recently, there is a travel warning
not to go there unless completely necessary. In the next few days we
will try to get hold of the people at our insurance company to see
what can be done about it... We will see how it all goes.
I
am curious how this next period of city life will be...I will write
soon and report.
Love
ania
