Argentina

Buenos Aires & Ushuaia

• Buenos Aires: passport fiasco at airport
• Ushuaia: breathtaking city

After some more hanging out in Buenos Aires with exceptional and lovely porteños, we ran to AEP (airport) with enough time (never too much time) so Nico & I went straight to get a new passport for me. Now, bear in mind Argentina is a land of contradictions were you can spend an hour queuing to pay utility bills OR get a passport in 30 minutes! You were wrong, Orwell; freedom is overrated! 

(This picture captured a flashy rainbow of happy ideas… Nico and Basia were teasing me as this was taken.)

The overwhelming financial control the government imposes on Argentinians has just a few positive side effects, like this one… And this is for you, Illinois DMV: I got it without any proof of address! ):) Now flying 3.5 hours to Ushuaia… definitely need to work on a better system to travel (at least bilocation as reported by some Christian saints).

Ushuaia: mountains by the ocean! Love it!
