Argentina

After spending over a month in Colombia, we are finally at the last leg of our trip: Argentina. Our latest project in Buenos Aires has been searching for an apartment to live in. We plan to stay here for about 8 weeks or so, enjoy the city, and learn some more (Argentinian) Spanish. That's also proven to be a challenge since, as Wilson can tell you since he's been doing the research, most of the teachers here only want us to take 2 hours of class. Not sure why, but most of them have told us 2 hours maximum is their recommendation. I think the teachers get bored (or are just lazy) and don't want the same student for more than 2 hours, which I don't blame them. But since we are paying them, we will both shoot for 3 hours a day with the same teacher and a couple hours of conversation (doesn't sound like a lot given our 6-hour Spanish lessons in Guatemala).

The only place we've been so far outside of Buenos Aires is Iguazu Falls. This was one of the most beautiful waterfalls cascade I'd ever seen. I believe they say there are 275 waterfalls cascade into a great gorge at Iguazú at the northern border with Brazil.

We've also visited various districts in Buenos Aires, including the zoo. Here's a funny at the zoo: we watched an adult monkey rub himself on a baby monkey and then stare into the audience with an erection. Although the baby monkey kept biting the adult monkey on the leg, he would continue rubbing himself on it. And though we were all laughing, many parents with little children left the scene very quickly. Couldn't get a photo of this scene but did get a good one of a camel (see photo).

More to come as we learn more about the city and, hopefully, meet more people.
