FELIZ NAVIDAD

day 62: 25 december 2008 (navidad)

the flags goes down here in BA, because tomorrow i`m heading for Mendoza. where the finest wines of argentina are produced. also it is on the foot of the vulcan of aconagua, one of the higheest peak of South america. but first i want to share you some of my experience here in buenos aires.

mid- december is really not the best time to go to buenos aires. the humidity is very high and the heat is killing. and add some polution too and it`s a dreadful combination. although Buenos aires is really interesting to see, the different type of the barrios offer lot of attraction. and los porteños are nocturnal, so all activities started late in the evening.

pero heading for caminito in the evening isn´t really good idea. caminito is a placein the barrio of la boca. home of boca junior but also the poorest barrio in BA. so outside of caminito it`s a hell for las turistas. although the site it self is really nice to see. and it`s amazing how inventive people are and could make something out of nothing. it`s again some kind of reminder for me. to be inventive and find a solution for everything i will encountered.

and like now i`m choosing to smoke pipe tobacco above cigars because it`s mas economico.
but being so young and smoke pipe, it doesnt match really well. And the people i met on the street still thinks that i smoke marihuana or crack. no no no it`s pure tobacco. it`s something that give me strength instead of make me feel sleepy and dizzy. sometimes i wondered if i was borned at a wrong era. i still wondered if i can get my pipe through the border. on chilean border vegetables, fruits and diary products are not allowed to pass the border. and also coca leaves but i think that`s only for people coming from bolivia.

bueno, that`s much later for now i`m still in argentina. and now i`m thinking to go to the World`s End. the very south part of argentina, there is a city called Ushuaia and it`s the end of the continent. but i`m seeking Sponsors to be able to go to Ushuaia:D

Suerte
