Since our last postings we have covered a lot of ground! We took an overnight bus from Mendoza to Córdoba, and spent two days/one night there. That city reminded us quite a lot of San Francisco, CA because of its tall buildings and insanely busy streets. Just ask the two of us who almost got run over in the streets. In Córdoba we took a bus to a town called Alta Gracia where we visited the childhood home of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. The house has been turned into a museum, and we got to watch a few short documentaries on the life and work of El Che. It was like seeing the preview to one of my favorite movies, "The Motorcycle Diaries". In fact, they even have a replica of his infamous motorcycle there in the house. I even got to use Che´s bathroom. Weird, eh?
Well, after our stay in Córdoba, we took another nighttime bus all the way to Buenos Aires; it took almost 13 hours to get here, and we arrived at 5am. We checked into a really cute hostel right in the heart of downtown, which we have yet to see because we´ve been sleeping since we got here. Anyway, we´re very excited to get started exploring this city, which, I believe, is the largest city in South America. I´m told it is "the New York of South America", but will have only images in my mind to compare it with, never actually having been to NY myself. I´m looking forward to artisan markets, incredible food, tango lessons, possibly a ferry ride to Uruguay´s capitol, Montevideo, and cheap shopping!
All continues to be well with us, and we hope you´re all doing splendidly, too!
Lots of love from us all!

Hola from Norco where we are keeping Ginger company. She sends her regards!
Would be curious as to howmany miles you have traveled by bus alone. Seems like you've spent more time on buses than airplanes....that's for sure.
Your mom showed us how to log on to your Blogspot from here....the only interest in the computer while here.
Again, Via con Dios!
Love, GM & GM
Hi there!
I can somewhat relate to your long bus rides, as we are about to begin day 3 of driving to KS. But it sounds like your food and entertainment are much better! Tango lessons - how cool is that?!
I'm so glad you're having such wonderful experiences! Enjoy the rest of your time.
Lots of love,
Mom
Glad you kids are doing well. I sent some Costa Rica recommendations via gmail to both you and Arash. I also stand the ready with my reasonably up to date guidebook for help planning.
I'm insanely jalous you got to visit El Che's home.
Be safe you krazy kids!
Matt
