The Plan

So as my time in Argentina comes to a close I have started going crazy with plans.

First is "the birthday."
Whose birthday?
Mine!
When?
May 4th!
Do I still have time to mail a card?
Yes!
Do I have the address?
Here it is!
Salguero 1357 Dept. 2
Capital federal
Buenos Aires 1177
Argentina

Next plan: May 15 Amanda, Nic and I are boarding a bus which we will ride on for 21 hours up to the city of San Salvador de Jujuy, in the Northwest corner of Argentina. After stumbling off the bus we will beeline it straight to the famous hot springs to rest our bus-stiff bodies. For the next seven days we will make our way down to Salta, then San Miguel de Tucuman, hiking, photographing, strolling, drinking, eating and relaxing our way through the Northwest corner. We will arrive back in Buenos Aires on May 23rd, and May 24th I get ready for my next trip...

Peru! I am flying to Lima on the 24th, then I have the whole day and a night there, wherein hopefully I will connect with my (Ritchie side) family there, then bright and early the 25th I fly into Cuzco. While in Cuzco I will hopefully met up with a friend who will be there too, and we will drink some mate de coco and catch up before heading up to Machu Picchu-a long held dream and I am hoping a highlight of my time in S. America!!! Then I have another day in Lima on the 30th, and I arrive in BA on the 31st at 3:30 in the morning! It gives me just enough time to sleep, get all the last minute good-byes in, and on the 1st I board the plane back to California. I can't believe how fast it has all gone and is all going! Incredible! By the time I leave I will have visited Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Peru! So exciting.

But, first, the birthday!
