More Photos

So first of all, the pics are in order chronologically from bottom to top, so they make more sense if you look at them that way... I have been up to all kinds of exciting stuff, but it took me forever to do that, so I dont have a ton of time to write about it. I´m now in Salta, in the northern part of Argentina. This morning we went bungee jumping, puenting (jumping off a bridge kind of like bungee, but holding the rope instead of having it tied to your ankles), zipcording, and another rappel. Pics of that will come later. I also have action shots of the rafting, but they are on another cd, so wont come until later. Lots of love <3 Rae



And finally... McDonalds is sooo much better in Mendoza

Don´t cry for me Argentina

So I have finally left Buenos Aires, Tuesday night me and the lovely Lacy Garrison hopped a bus to the lake district. Since then, we have spent a day at the hippie town of Bolson, taken a 10 km hike around the Circuito Chico in Bariloche, eaten tasty fresh (and cheap) ceviche in Puerto Montt, and are currently hanging our hats in Santiago.

Arrived here this morning by bus, and met up at the hostel with my good friend Piers whom I met in Buenos Aires. Most museums and such are closed today, so I think we are going to just hoof it about town for awhile, and maybe attempt Cerro San Cristobal to get a view of the city.

Anyways... don´t have loads of time right now, but I have been trying to make notes of my travels on buses and such, and maybe will fill things out later on. Just wanted to let everyone know of my whereabouts, and that I haven´t been kidnapped or maimed or anything.

Lots of love!!
