It´s Thursday at 2:30, and it is officially weekend for me. My last class is 10-1 on Thursdays, so I have 3 day weekends to be able to travel with sufficient time if my friends and I want to....which this weekend I am!
This weekend, Emily, Amanda, and I are going to Iguazú Falls, which are in the far north of Argentina, directly bordering Brazil. Iguazú is the 5th biggest waterfall in the world, and the biggest in South America. It´s a 17 hour bus ride .... which could be horrible, but I´m looking at it as a part of the whole experience. It isn´t any regular bus either, Argentines ride buses in style. This is the company we booked through - Via Bariloche. You can kind of see pictures of the buses throughout their page. Anyway, we leave tonight at 8:40, get there tomorrow at around noon, and leave again on Saturday night to get back to Buenos Aires on Sunday at around noon.
On a different note, today for lunch I found a new empanada place, Hausbrot, that actually sells whole-wheat empanadas (click empanadas y tartas) with vegetables inside instead of meat. Who knows if they´re actually any healthier (probably a little), but they certainly made me feel like I was eating something good for me, with all their all-natural and organic advertising.
I´m about to go meet Emily to go find a hostel and plan our day and a half in Iguazú, but I will post again early next week with my pictures!

I don't know about those empanadas...they still look rock-like, but the website is light and airy!
ReplyDeleteThose buses do look luxurious, definitely roomier than Greyhound's.
