Bariloche, ARGENTINA!!!

Yes, I am in love with Argentina. WE stayed in Chiloe for about 1.5 days and randomly decided that maybe we need to head back to Argentina. So we took a bus to Puerto Varas and stayed there for a night and a day. What a BEAUTIFUL city! Its right on a lake and is a cute little town. We stayed in a hostel run by a group of people from France. It was our first time staying in a dorm style hostel and I was lucky enough to share a bunkbed with a 40 year old argentinan man...there was a also a guy from Gerany and a couple from Switzerland. We stayed about a day in puerto varas and spent the day walking around and exploring. That night we cooked Shashuka for the second time in 3 days and made an AMAZING apple crisp dish...yes, I am finally learning how to cook and am not half bad. So we finished off a tub of ice cream and the apple crisp and then walked around the city with a guy from NYC and a guy from Germany. The guy from NYC is getting paid to bike around the world and had tons of stories to tell. The guy from Germany will be heading to BAriloche tomorrow so we are hoping to see him again. The bus to BAriloche was long but BEAUTIFUL. It was through the Andes and had great views. We´re staying in a small hostel run by a young couple. SHould be good. Bariloche is on a huge lake in the Andes. There are TONS of things to do and I am excited to find a hike to do tomorrow.

One thing I always look forward to is making dinner with the people I am traveling with. It doesn´t matter if we´ve had a long day and everyone is crabby, we always do dinner togeter. ITs a constant thing amist the craziness. Makes me realize how much I value and need to be around friends and family. I suppose that´s all for now. GOOD LUCK TO THE lUTHER SWIMMERS AT LAC! YOU GUYS ROCK!
