So, I made it to Buenos Aires. I arrived, took a two hour bus ride from the airport to the hostel (there was a shorter bus but it cost 45 pesos as opposed to the public bus which cost 1.5 pesos), checked into my hostel, and headed straight to AmEx where I was able to get my credit card. Made plans to meet up with my friend, Meriam (she´s from Ho...

Backpack in tow, I pushed my way through the crowd standing around a TV in the street market between the Retiro ,subte, and bus stations. The byline read "Accidents in Demonstrations Over Bush's Impending Arrival: Prote...

Well at least untill I learn some Spanish and get a good tan so that I...
