Travelin Monkey

After leaving Floripa, I got to Montevideo and spent Easter with my family down there. Poppa was coming to Argentina and I was going to meet up with him to take a massive road trip with a family friend that lives in Buenos Aires up the coast of Argentina to the Iguasu waterfalls, then back down through Brasil through most of Uruguay.

We took off from Buenos Aires and made our first pit stop on the worst place on earth. The place was INFESTED with flies. There were so many flies everywhere, like a black haze whereever we walked. We ordered some asado, and it was a fight for our food. Get there before the damn flies did. They ended up taking over at the end and even managed to get into our bottles of soda.

I, unfortunately, had to use the bathroom. Yep, a hole in the floor. And I had to drop a deuce It was a fight to not fall in (I have no experience with this squat phenomenon) and then a fight to see who got to clean me first, the toilet paper or the flies! When we decided to part ways with the most fantastic place I have ever visited, we couldn’t find the car. It was white when we got in, but black when we came out… flies… flies everywhere!

Our next stop on the road trip was Federacion, the natural? hot springs of Argentina. This was a neat stop, I had a lot of fun relaxing there.

We ended up in some random town, finding a hotel. I guess the pope passed, it is all over the news. We stopped to eat an asado somewhere, but it was strange. There were 3 dogs barking all night long, and yet, when our food was served, there was silence. The meat was tough as hell, like chewing bubble gum.

Tomorrow we take off further north.
