Esta aqui!

So iḿ in a hostel in Buenos Aires.  Hostel Suites Palermo to be exact.  Iḿ on a computer that cant quite put in apostrophes.  So apologies for the poor grammar.  So the flights went off with just a few hitches but I got here.  Getting to Buenos Aires from the Pistarini Airport (EZE) was a bit more challenging, since all the guide books i read said that you could just take public bus 86 for around 50 cents.  Well, I found the bus stop (for future cheapskate travelers, its to the left once you get outside.  Just keep walking to the left and youll see the bus stop).  The only thing was on the bus stop, only 8, 51 and 518 were listed.  I thought maybe it was one of those things where it would come but it just wasnt listed.

So I just sat there for awhile, watched a bunch of buses go buy.  Then I asked somebody. "Donde esta la ochenta y seis?¨ And then the guy mumbled something en espanol.  But I heard "ocho" and then "ochenta y seis".  So I said gracias, assuming that it'd get me downtown.  And two hours later, it did!

I'm glad I took the bus because it took all these detours off the main freeway to BA into these little neighborhoods.  And I learned two things: 1) people love to ride their bicycles in proper tour de france-type gear regardless of body type and 2) it's totally cool to pull your car off onto any piece of grass and start playing soccer.

And I saw some wild street dogs.  And possibly one dead wild street dog.  Not any exciting pictures.  It's a pretty dreary day and i'm sort of too tired to do any site seeing right now.
