We arrived in BA Saturday morning (we had originally planned to get there Sunday morning - damn hostel in Mendoza) and made our way to the hostel in Palermo where we then tried to sort our lives out as best as we could. We only planned on staying in that hostel for a night and then moving to another one and thank god we did because it wasn't so fantastic.

I do want to have it written down, though, because I know I'll want to reread about the difficult parts of this trip in the future just as much as the good parts.So after everything happened in San Rafael we got on a bus back to Mendoza in hopes of sorting out our lives (stolen passports and money) as quickly as ...

We arrived in Mendoza on the bus from Tucuman where we were forced to stay against our will for an evening. We had initially wanted to get the bus from Cafayate to Tucuman and then immediately catch an overnight bus to Mendoza from there the same evening as our arrival but all the buses leaving Cafayate arrived too late in Tucu...
