scheming in buenos aires


Hola!
for grandparent proof that i am alive and well, refer to above foto taken today at an art museum in buenos aires.

moving on, allow me introduce you to a.) a crazy metal flower in BA that opens and closes with the sunlight and b.) an equally crazy german named kim who i have been running around with for the past few days.


moving even further along, the following is a rough outline of my wandering scheme between now and the beginning of march. my plan is to catch a night bus out of BA tomorrow evening.

BA-Cordoba-Mendoza-Uspallata-Santiago (chile)- Valparaíso-Serena-Antofagasta-Arica-La Paz (bolivia)- Oruro (for carnavaaaaal!)-Uyuni-Sucre-Copacabana-Cuzco (peru)-Lima-CUENCA ECUADOR

i should be able to cover most of the distances by night buses, so i can sleep through long boring rides and not waste much day time on travel. somehow between the 1st and 6th of march i need to find my way back to buenos aires but i haven´t decided how i´m doing it yet. all together it´s about a 3 day bus trip, or i could split it up with a cheap flight or two.

anyway, in true alana fashion i have put off my last antarctic assignment until the last minute so i´m off to finish it up and email it out.

paz, alana.
