Now we find ourselves near the end of the world after...

1. an unbelievable amount of bus rides, including a 36 hour one (try that in a normal bus for a heck of a back ache)
2. ¨chocolate hopping¨ we like to call it from fine chocolate to fine chocolate shop in Bariloche, displaying false curiosity in hopes of free samples (as any self-respecting street child would do)
3. eating enough fruit in days to last us a month (Chilean fruit is cheap and insanely good, whereas Argentine fruit is expensive and minimal)
4. some more ¨loving¨ from bus drivers and attendants... it is so very odd
5. the most astounding scenery i have ever seen... hands down
6. yarn and thirft store shopping with our Chilean host mom for our newly acquired and short lived hobby of crocheting
7. biking vineyard to vineyard and fruit foraging along the way in Mendoza
8. appreciating the beauty with which Argentines live their lives. it is a country where the world shuts down from 1-5 and every sunday, people savor the fine things in life like chocolate, wine and steak, mate is drank and only shared of course, family is always first, and sundays seem to beckon the city to the park with grandparents sipping mate and snacking on their packed picnic as their grandchildren play
9. wishing we were losing weight like normal travelors, not gaining... too many empanadas i suppose
10. wishing Chilean Spanish was not impossible to understand, and therefore resolved to be confused until we are back in Argentina
11. thankful for beds we don´t fear for bed bugs in, but severly missing the ghettoness for the third world
12. being blessed by people´s generosity
13. getting blown about (the wind here is outrageous!)
14. learning alot about love and it being a choice
15. and, saddened by the idea of a turkeyless thanksgiving
