Day: 190
With a considerable amount of willpower I got up and returned the car this morning. On the walk back I finally decided to leave this heaven that is making me lethargic. I swung through the bus station and bought a ticket north to Salta for 8:30 tonight. I made it back to the hostel and commenced drinking a couple glasses of tea; finishing off the morning hours.
I had a few big plans for the afternoon. I got some lunch, wandered the sycamore lined streets (which remind me of childhood and the tree that was in our frontyard), and spent a couple of hourrs on the internet blogging and applying for a job for next month. By the time I made it to the bank and back to the hostel it was only a couple of hours until my bus. I hit up the grocery store, filled my pack with snacks for the bus and bought a beer to sit on the patio and enjoy well I waited to board another 18 hour bus.

Hey Rob, nrYour blog was delivered to my mailbox on Monday and in between work I’ve managed to read the ENTIRE thing! I would have rather sent you an email and I know I saw your email address somewhere in here but went back and searched and searched but couldn’t find it, so this might be a long comment, sorry!nrMy name is Kristin, I’m 26 and from Anaheim. I love traveling too, I spent 2 1/2 months backpacking around Europe, went to Australia and New Zealand last year, and this year I’m planning the biggest trip yet, around the world, but not quite as long or extensive as yours. Probably about 5 months, back to Europe, Aus and Nz, plus some time in South Africa and SE Asia. nrAnyway the reason I’m writing is just to tell you how awesome i think your photos are! Real quality stuff you’ve got there, I think your very talented and have got a for sure career in photography. They really are some of the best and most stunning photos i’ve seen yet, like National Geographic quality! How’s it going with selling them? Maybe you could publish a book, open a gallery, enter some contests? I took photo class for 2 years, and i really loved it and love taking pictures, my albums of my travels are my most prized possesions, seriously, if the house was on fire, i’d grab those first, then the dog. haha. I had a nice digital slr that I had just bought for my trip to Australia, I was a freak about that camera, it never left my side. ( i have a history of losing things while drunk) well what do you think happend, yep, lost it.Pretty sure it was stolen right out of my bag that was strapped on to me. The night started off great, we were playing the pokies and won 400 bucks and then many many pitchers of beers later, the camera was gone. And on it went about 200 pics of a week in Australia. One of the most miserable depressing days of my life! Still kills me to thik about it. I was wondering how do you manage not to lose yours, or get it stolen went you go out at night…I must say, I am impressed with your alcohol consumption volume(hmm well you are from the 909 after all….) and the amount of naps you take! wow! Also how you talk freely of getting wasted, smoking dope.. hooking up with girls, and your parents read this! nice. lol. For my next trip im going to try to keep up a blog, but I’m kind of lazy when it comes to writing, and you know how dodgy internet cafes can be, slow dial up, like 10 dollars an hour.. and i just dont have the patience most of the time, but i’ll give it a try. I know it’s going to be majorly sensored since my mom and grandma will be reading! nrI’ve added your page to my favorites list and will look forward to following along with your adventure. nrGive me a shout when you have a chance!
Well here you go. You have some new readers.
