A week went by, it actually flew by, and we had fuly loved our tie in Buenos Aires!! We couch surfed a Argentinian named Ariels place and he was so so good to us! THANK YOU ARIEL!! We couldnt have ended up with a better couch surfing host, omg, thank the Lord too hehe. We ventured through out the city and saw everything we had time and wanted to see. Palermo was one of our favorite areas, little shops and resaurants, great people watching, and an awesome little open air market on one of the days we went... Dom had his birthday while we were in BA and it was so wonderful and relaxing, we went out bought some yummy food to make and did coconut shrimp, bacon wrapped asparagus, crab stuffed mushies and pasta for dinner! YUM! and I tried to do a vegan carrot cake and well... it was deeesss. Dom like it though (or so he said haha) so all was good in the hood.
We were originally going to stay up at a farm near misiones in Argentina, but as we have learned plans quickly change when your on the road, soo we figured our expenses and decided it best to head north to Peru. Monday we caught a bus, let me mention it was a 3 day bus ride!!!!! from Buenos Aires to Lima to get to our next spot. I dont think anyone should ever spend three days on a stinkin bus! It was horrible, well okay not entirely horrible, but we were only fed one meal and couldnt poop for days because you arent allowed to poop on the bus bathrooms, though someone insisted on pooping in the toilet and well, it was pretty and quite smelly. So to put it nice and shortly we were on a smelly, foodless, cramppy bus for three days with no movis in English (on our past bus rides we got lucky and had at least one english movie, but nope none this time) After 72 hours we made it to Lima, where we then immediately hopped in a cab to another bus station and got on another bus to Barranca, which ended up being a 5 hour ride! BUT here we are in Barranca, a little beach town north of Lima!!
We plan on staying here for several weeks or so, we are working at a motel that is right on the beach, there is a guy from new zealand here and another peruvian guy so its nice to meet and hangout with some new people!! Yesterday and today we spent at the beach and already im lookin similar to my tomato friend... the sun is sooo strong here its insane. Today Tom (the dude from New Zealand) gave dom some surfing lessons,hehe it was fun to watch. The beach is nice huge crabs are all over scurring about and dipping into their holes and I find it quite entertaining to chase and momentarily torment them (im not actually just making them run around in circles) and their pretty big, no wussy crabs you see when you lift those rocks up on the beach bu crabs the size of my hand! its soo funny to watch and there everywhere. The beach reminds me alot of the Oregon coast or Ocean shores though the water isnt as cold. So were going to be beach bums for the next little while and love it up, the motel gives us money for food too which is an added bonus!!
anywho love and miss you all back home!!
chao!
