JANUARY 9TH
BUENOS AIRES HOSTEL
So we arrived in Buenos Aires and realized we did NO RESEARCH on money exchange! Or where the airport is in relation to the actual city!
So um, when we arrived and went to pull out money imagine my fear when I look at the ATM screen and it’s all in Argentine pesos and I have no idea how much I am pulling out! And see, there isn’t much left in that Wells Fargo Account and I cannot go over!
I am in a freaking foreign country—more foreign to me now then Chile! I can’t fix it if I’m overdrawn! I don’t even know where to find internet!
But now I do. We lucked out completely. Outside the airport stood tons of taxis and they said you can’t take a bus—and to be honest we didn’t even know where a bus would take us anyway.
K had a job interview at a Star Bucks in the business district of Buenos Aires. I was just glad for a Starbuck! Now that I know that they have real coffee! Yep, you read me correctly, REAL COFFEE! You need to ask for Café del Dia! Coffee of the Day and it is beautiful! No instant for this girl or that damn French press which was sorta good but not...
The guy who was giving K a job interview helped us find a hostel too! His girlfriend works for hostel and had a vacancy—totally cheap too. I mean, we have just a tiny bed and then mattress on the ground with no pillows or blankets—but it’s hot anyway and I have Chongo, my travel monkey pillow—and it just feels so good to be out and away from Chile after all that mess.
I just want to see what the rest of the world is like!
