Holaaaa

So I am officially not in Brazil anymore...and freezing my ass off. I left the beautiful beaches and perfect weather in Rio for 4 degrees celcius, but I`m sure I will love it here in Buenos Aires. I have yet to explore because we got in late afternoon and checked into our hostel (which is super nice...in the SoHo area of BsAs). Rio was amazing...so beautiful. We saw the big Jesus (yaaa too bad I´m Jewish but whatever...it´s one of the wonders of the world) and Sugarloaf which was breathtaking. Also hit up Copacobana and Ipanema...4 days was definitely not enough there, I´ll have to go back. It`s kind of like Manhattan with a beach and Portuguese (and more crime)...perfect minus the crime part. Oh and we were going to go into a favela with a friend that volunteers teaching English but we couldn´t because there was a huge police raid earlier that day (since the PAN games just ended...the police are moving in again).

I can`t wait to get back to Brazil...it´s so hard trying to speak Spanish after over a month of only Portuguese...I like Portuguese so much better ;) I am completely in love with everything Brazilian and wish I could have stayed much longer. Buuut, BsAs should be good and Bariloche will be amazing (snowboarding on the Andes...woooo yeah). And everything is way cheaper in Argentina...that´s a big plus. I´m not looking forward to going back to the U.S. at all (only to see my family and friends). South America is wonderful!

Beijos...Besos...whatever you prefer...Tchau!
