Final week of January and BA

Well today is the 30th of January and this is my last night in Buenos Aires. wow there goes the first month of 2007, that was quick. Seems like just the other day that I was at my Uncle Harry and Aunt Irene´s condo in the middle of the mountains and the snow as we rang in a new year. Now I am on the bottom of the world and it was about 33 celcius today and I went for a walk and was looking for some boardshorts. These jean shorts are getting a little bit dirty and they just arent practical for places I will be going. Well I sure did pack light for this trip and now the trick is to keep it light. Of course I still need to buy the odd suvenier, just try and stay away from buying a whole load of stuff. My past days here have been very nice and I have spent about five days now with a guy named Aaron. He is originally from Maschechusettes.. or however you spell that lol. For the past year and a half though he has been travelling the world. He started with Europe, then India, then Australia, then was in New Zealand. He had just arrived here and came to the hostel I am staying at and we have done lots of hanging out. He has tought me lots and has a very different and open way of seeing things. He was originally kicked out of school for being caught with weed off campus and now he never smokes and never even touches a drop of alcohol. He doesnt really intend on going back to school. He wants to spend a year in South America and then work his way up to central america and see how hard it is to find a cheap boat and then start sailing. Whenever he runs out of money he just finds a little work where ever he is and then keeps going. So tomorrow we will go our seperate paths but I am sure we will keep in touch. Over the past days I have gone to a few museums and went to the Recoleta cemetary where I got to see Evita Peron´s grave. I really thought that hers would be bigger lol. I love to go out shopping but the buying part doesnt happen so often lol. I know I am sure ready to try some new cuisine in Brazil though. Another person told me of what they were planning on doing and it sounded so tempting except for the fact that I dont think I have the time or the funds. He is going to slowly work his way up until he gets to Canada. Bussing!! from here. I really hope that I get to see some of the Amazon river before I have to come home so this is something I am going to look into for sure. It is present in atleast 4 countries here I think. Well thats about it for now and I will let you all know how Sao Paulo is after I have arrived tomorrow night and find my hostel lol. Thatl be an adventure. Well this is it for now so Farewell! and Brazil, Here I COME!
