Well we arrived in Buenos Aires around 10 am Tuesday and we had such a big day planned. I actually slept well for the first time on an overnight bus so that really helped. It was Shelby's first day and last night in Buenos Aires so we were going to make the most of it! We had booked another food tour for that day at noon and then we had our included tango experience that night. Our bus was a little late so we were worried about getting to the restaurant by 12.

We made it to Argentina!!! We had quite the time getting out of San Pedro, even when we knew the bus was going to go. Wednesday night we went to the office to confirm the time of our bus's departure but the office didn't know because it all depends on the border patrol who are sporadically in the office and never pick up their phones (even though their hours are listed as 8am-11pm).

They claimed they had no record of our tickets being purchased but I think that was a lie. So we were stuck in San Pedro de Atacama for another two days!! It is a pretty small town wh...

I will start this blog off by telling you some things I've forgotten to mention in past blogs. 1. In every town or city in Peru, all the homes/businesses are built from brick and cement and they all have a foot to 6 feet of rebar sticking out all over the top, like every building is unfinished. Shelby and I could not figure out for the longest time why and then one of our guides told us that the taxes are higher on finished buildings so everyone builds their hou...
