we are here in buenos aires, safe and sound!!
the flight was very, very comfortable. we flew on standby tickets and were lucky enough to get put in business class (thanks to my dad´s girl friend, linda). turns out, 10 hours isn´t so bad when you are sitting in a chair that will conform to any position you´d like, with more legroom than even seemed advisable (i couldnt reach the pocket with the magazines without unbuckling my seat belt) and are fed an elaborate 3 course dinner (seriously ELABORATE), and a huge breakfast, and lots of wine, and given a full size, down pillow, and a big, quilted, comfortor-like blanket, and movies on demand.
it was really, really fun.
anyways, we are here and wiped out. even though the flight was comfortable it was still taxing.
we got to our hostel at about 8am this moring but our check in time isn´t until 3pm, so we went to their lobby/hangout room and took a nap on the couch. i´m sure we looked really cool. i woke up about an hour ago and just planned out a little walking tour for us to do, but when i tried to wake up michael to get going he wanted 10 more minutes.
so here i am, writing this, at the lobby computer, while he gets his 10 minutes more (which are now up) and hopefully he´ll be awake enough to hoof it for a few hours!
p.s.: just ignore the incredible amout of typos that are going to be coming at you for the next three months. as in, even more than usual… which is already a lot. the computers are in spanish, so every single word is “misspelled”. meh.
