The majestic landscape of Chilean Patagonia

 In the beautiful country of Chile there are old remnants of the Antarctic flora called Nothofagus. The forest homes of these antiquated natural treasures in the southern Patagonian Andes of Chile. At high altitudes in Patagonia specific Nothofagus pumilio trees can easily be found, the turning of a season change their leaves to the color of the brightest blood. Another type of ancient tree called krummholz can be found in Chile's Patagonia region. The tree is normally covered with lichen with very stunted appearance. It really gives the look and feel of being in an old forest. Indians sometimes in the past would eat the shape of these trees, which they considered a delicacy.Other plants that can be found in the Chilean Patagonian Andes is coigue, Tepa, orchids, bromeliads, and tree manio. The constantly wet, damp environment in this region gives rise to the most year-round green leaves. Diversity of plant and animal life in this region depends on various landscapes. From waterfalls to snow-capped mountains and the coastal plains, boasts southern Patagonia them all. This particular location is the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Antarctic in the south, the Andes to the east, and the Atacama Desert in the north. Everyone does an incredible habitat and even more amazing view as you look down from above.There are other plants that are unearthly landscape of Patagonia. Conifers, such as the magnificent cypress and larch are around the northern Patagonian lakes. Some of these pine trees are 2,000 years old or older. It is really a holdover from the days when only Indians roamed these dark lands. Before the mountains were a steppe of jarilla, bushes, chaura, neneo and coironales. Then there are pasture-some created by people they have wrought destruction on parts of Patagonia, where goat operation, owned by local farmers who still live in the region. They were also created by excessive logging. Many trees in this country are highly prized for their unique wood.Patagonia is a very famous place to bird-watch with the most famous birds as Magellan penguins, cormorants, gulls and Antarctic doves. Other animals that live in the region are red deer, wild boar, pumas, guanacos, armadillos, ostriches, and the toxic Viudita spider. Despite the rich environment, there is virtually no toxic or exotic animals as you would see in the Amazon rainforest. Patagonia is very close to Antarctica and has a definite winter season.Patagonia has been inhabited by humans since 10 BC-the Holcene era when agriculture appeared, with the first people who Tehuelche along with other native Indian tribes. Later on, these people come under the domination of the Mapuche-speaking tribes who taught them agriculture and animal domestication. The first European explorers in Patagonia was Ferdinand Magellan who named the area after a character in his favorite book. The year was 1520 when he finished just in Patagonia before off to explore the rest of the world. In 1850 Welsh explorers from Britain would go where Magellan had quit. They were surprised by how otherworldly sights around them and the many different animals they came upon.Sources: http://www.patagonia-argentina.com/i/content/florayfauna.phphttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Patagoniahttp: / / www.pbs.org / Eden / Patagonia / history.htm

A Vacation in Bolivia

 When we landed in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, I was certain we had left far behind Miami. If someone told me five years ago that I would be on vacation in Bolivia, I would have laughed. After all, my idea of vacation is shopping in Paris or seeing the sites of Prague, but travel in the Third World? Thank you to my partner, Russell and his Bolivian-American family, I have had a wonderful experience in a charming country still very poor, and I'm looking forward to a trip a year there. Add the beauty of seeing a country through the eyes of people who live there and you have a moment of relaxation and cultural moisture vacation.The humid summer in February in the southern hemisphere was tangible as we left the airport and I tried to catch my breath. The landscape of Santa Cruz is tropical in appearance with a slow rise in the foothills of the Andes, a perfect complement to moisture and heat. As a resident tropical, I saw that this region of the tropics is much more green and lush from our house in Miami, the image of the subtropical forest I always had in my mind. My first impressions of Santa Cruz are probably the same as the first impressions of a traveler of the Third World: we are in a different place. As we drove toward the town of La Guardia, a suburb of Santa Cruz, where the Russell family home is located, I noticed that traffic was very different from the States, not only in the driving style, but in appearance. Many cars are old and even newer models are sometimes in the form of less-than-perfect due to road conditions and skirmishes. The city of Santa Cruz uses a roundabout, where a reckless driver can find himself in the path of several cars at once. The method to handle this situation is simply to stop, regardless of the speed at which the pack of cars is traveling. I also saw a number of people walking and noticed that on some points cows take up less road space as much as cars and people. On a particularly scenic route, I had the pleasure of seeing a simple model to be driven by a pair of oxen, a first for me. Roads are decorated with storefronts and cafes in various pastel colors, rinse with time, weather, and lack or repair, which give the charm of a landscape that might be shocking for a first visitor time. The center, or El Centro, Santa Cruz, around Plaza 24 de Septiembre, is completely colonial feel, with old Spanish-style houses dating from different periods, red-tiled roofs and long porches overlooking the streets, an atmosphere that caused me to expect a machine adapted tobacco plantation owner with a big cigar while walking through the palm trees in the Plaza. Most homes in Spain, characterized by being outdoors concentric, are now companies, including one of them belonged to Russell-grandmother, who is now a bank of micro-loans. Below the verandas, the traffic moves frenetically through the narrow streets and stepping down off the high curb to hail a taxi must be done very carefully, not only in danger of being hit by a car with brakes screeching, but also threatens to become a muddy mess. These scenes stay with me as part of the colonial charm still hectic that I found in Santa Cruz.Obviously the landscape in a country like Bolivia tells you that the lifestyle is different. The harsh reality is that many people have a standard of living is much lower than some of the poorest in the U.S. On the other side of that, people with enough money can live a very comfortable life. Russell family has lived on an estate of several acres in a house that is supported by a maid, a cook and a guard, but the cost in dollars of the United States is not about what you expect. The idea of having a maid service and who do not need to clean up after me was great, but getting used to it took a couple of days. To understand this, we should consider that being a domestic worker in Bolivia is not a "bad" career as a good-paying or cook can have room and board, food, and even a nap after lunch some of his work. In fact, the nap is normal for everyone in the house, a lifestyle that I was not too hard to get used to. When I got home I had the urge to close my door every day at the office after lunch and snooze for a few minutes. Once I got used to the interior, I also realized that the vision of Latin time is especially true in Santa Cruz, where six hours could mean six fifteen, half past six or seven hours and yet seems to be in a hurry. As I wrote before, all Americans can learn from this point of view of time and slow. Another interesting aspect of lifestyle is the composition of the population, with approximately 55% of indigenous Bolivians, and the remaining 45% of European descent or mixed race. Aboriginal sports charming dark eyes, features and skin, which tends to be a gringo blue eyes stand out. After a few minutes walk from downtown Santa Cruz, I realized that people stared at me. When I asked Russell about it, he simply said, "It looks gringo" even if I was sure I could have been gringo the first time that some people had never seen. In addition to the population, the language is different from what one might expect. I am reasonably fluent in Spanish and can follow a conversation fairly well, but the dialect spoken in and around Santa Cruz, what locals call a "country" dialect is very difficult to understand, with missing consonants and very rapid speech patterns. After a few days in Santa Cruz, I could easily notice that the region was not simply because I could understand Spanish. Since we made our trip during the second week of February, the Carnival celebrations were in the final planning stage. One of the biggest events of the year in many Latin American countries, Carnival begins with a parade and lasts three days, with an abundance of music, dancing, drinking, partying in general, and in Santa Cruz, spraying celebrants colleagues with paint. Everyone in the family Russell, and Russell, are former celebrations of Carnival, and they offer advice to new revelers, as you cover the baby oil to make sure the paint does not stick. As the week progressed, I knew with certainty that the celebration of Carnival is a big part of many lives and brings a lot of fun and companionship once a year. Unfortunately, the weather has been a slowdown right before the big parade of the Carnival of Santa Cruz, the rain for several days straight, and the parade organizers decided to postpone the event. This decision became the toast of the town for several days.I have briefly discussed the economy that I have met, but the best way to show that this is the value of the items I bought. I am a customer and can consume always find good deals here and there, but every shopping experience I had in Bolivia has been a godsend. My prized acquisition was made to tailor smoking, for which I paid $ 150 for fabric imported from Italy and $ 140 for sewing, for a grand total of $ 290. The same point in the United States would have cost hundreds if not thousands, more. I bought three tailor-0925 sterling silver rings, two of them with Citrine and Peridot, Pitti of Rafaella, a local jewelry designer, for a total of $ 160. We also bought items handmade folk, including a table runner crochet for my grandmother, for less than $ 10 each. One of the highlights of our shopping trip was a foray into the market at La Guardia, inside a large warehouse. It really is a country market, with open sacks of grain, ducks and chickens hanging from the rafters of skin stand, and a number of elements of the straw market. In one booth, run by a very nice elderly gentleman, we found Havainas, Brazilian-made flip flops, fashion with the trendiest of trendy South Beach $ 20 per pair for about $ 3 a pair . In Bolivia, I discovered later, this fashionable shoe is strictly for the girls to fly to do their daily cleaning. The beauty of finding such markets everywhere you look is pure heaven for a shopaholic like me. The problem with this in a country like Bolivia is the feeling that you're really in the economic elite, spending very little of your own money freely when so many people do not have a very high standard of living. This juxtaposition I felt a bit out of place.Food played a big role in my vacation in Bolivia, like a vacation. As I said, having a cook in a family home is a fantastic thing. The food in the house of the Russell family was a delicious mix of traditional American cuisine and typical local dishes, with fresh fruit for the backyard every day. I had the opportunity to sample many regional items in various forms, including Salten, which are similar to empanadas. The trick is that for Salten juice fillings stay inside the dough, even after cooking. To eat, we must stand up, take small bites, and suck the juice as you go. Anyone with marked difficulties in this competency is found quickly because of the dirty towels and nail, and the amount of juice flowing chin. Barbecue is a staple in Bolivia, as in other countries of South America, where sausages and various cuts of meat are grilled to perfection on the large brick gates. Barbecues do not allow me to sample two items, the bump on the back of a Brahma cow, known as Hiba, and sweetbreads, which are essentially glands of the cow. The taste of the roast hiba meager pot that I had already tried a great flavor with less fat, and sweetbreads, despite the gruesome description were a bit salty, but absolutely delicious with a good piece of bread. For the most demanding gourmets, Santa Cruz offers cafecitos, what might be called tea houses, where you can have tea, coffee and various pastries. On one occasion, tea, we had CuNap, which are light, pasty, pastries, cheese and empanandas de queso, sweet, fried pastries stuffed with cheese and slightly sweet. To wash it all, I've tried mocochinchi, a refreshing drink made from boiling apricots, sugar and cinnamon. One of the most unusual dishes I could eat a llama, which looks surprisingly like a regular steak, but is much lighter in taste and has much less fat. The economic equation plays in food as well: the meal with the llama was a dinner for eight, appetizers and a bottle of Moet-Chandon for under $ 200. Experience affordable culinary and cultural Bolivia is one that I will certainly enjoy and look forward again.I was slightly worried about this trip due to many factors, my first trip to South America, my first trip to a country Third World, a country where the political situation is unstable and the dislike of Americans is growing. I even fear the possibility of picking up nasty intestinal bugs or perhaps malaria. I became much less apprehensive after realizing that I was in good hands between Russell and his family, further proof that the best way to see a country through the eyes of people who suffer every day. In Bolivia, there are obvious problems with the distribution of wealth, the bureaucratic system, and the country's infrastructure, but the culture is warm, friendly, and certainly a change from the American brand of pandemonium. The graceful charm of Santa Cruz, Bolivia attracted me and keeps me looking forward to my return.

Redstone to Nice with Cruise

 Life is seemingly on the rise of Tom Cruise these days. After marrying his love Katie Holmes in November 2006, things could not get any better. The two new parents held an event full of stars in Italy, it was announced that the wedding of the year. Cruise unceremoniously parted from his long-known business with Paramount Pictures a few months before the wedding, when Viacom's chairman Sumner Redstone said his behavior was not acceptable to Paramount. The conduct of which he was a witness before the whole world on a sofa in the Oprah show last year and raised eyebrows everywhere. The game and the shock to the couch-jumping incident was like a shot heard around the world. It 'been a lot of other accidents that cause the Hollywood mogul to question Cruise's behavior including an attack on the use atypical Brooke Shields' doctor prescribed medication to get her through setbacks suffered shortly after birth of his first child. Cruise has launched an attack on a bronze for the use of drugs involved together. Cruise has more than redeemed himself where Shields is interested in a heart felt public apology which she accepted. Shields was among the guests present sumptuous wedding of Cruise and Holmes Italian. Shields and Holmes later also became friends with the daughters ironically share the same April 18, 2006 birth dates. However, it was his hard-line stand, the defense of Scientology public antics and displays on his love affair with houses that appeared to be the end for the bed partners of 14 years of business a long time. By the end of the division Redstone and Cruise went so Cruise and Paramount Pictures' successful partnership. Redstone suggested Cruise at the time what seemed to be so much a cruise rather than dismissal of the civil division manner in which the actor had committed suicide creative. These statements were made in the wake of a success than as provided for Mission Impossible III, which significantly lowered income. The Paramount lucrative franchise has done an impressive amount of money despite the summer of 2006 less than expected revenues. Perhaps the boss of Viacom is reminded of that fact, no real boy "gold" or heir apparent on the Paramount after all to deal with success across the open mouth Cruise has left behind. Redstone told People magazine on Thursday in Los Angeles premiere of Zodia, "It was a great friend." "And I look forward to being his friend again," he added. Redstone and Cruise have not spoken since the end of the massive audience and their lucrative relationship. He is very confident that they will be able to reconcile the friendship once again. Meanwhile, Cruise has been keeping quite busy with the agreement he signed with MGM last fall to return to life in the United Artists movie studio.

Budget travel in Cusco, Peru

 Cusco, Peru, is unforgettable, but it is often cited as the most expensive in Peru. After spending a week in Cusco with little money, I can testify that although it is very easy to run up a bill in this capital of the Inca, it is also possible, with a little effort, to enjoy all that Cusco has to offer and still travel within your budget. The first key to saving money in Cusco is to find an affordable place down, but to stay. It 'easy to find a budget hotel that are not grungy and unappealing, so I strongly recommend taking the time to shop. Walk around the central districts asking prices for hotels and then bargaining. Even in high season hotels often give you a deal if you stay for more than two nights. However, I found that the hotels offer cheaper deals during the high season is 35 soles (about $ 10 USD) for a double room, which is too expensive for many budget travelers. A good alternative is to find rooms for rent. Walking around the streets you see signs on stores or homes with rooms that are rented to families you day by day for very cheap. We found a nice room in the house of a woman who ran a laundromat who rented to us for 15 Soles per night (about $ 3 USD). The location is ideal, in the district of San Blas, surrounded by colonial buildings and ironically, in expensive hotels. Travellers follows is spending too much money on food in Cusco. Depending on your needs, tastes and moods, there is a cheap option for everyone. The cheapest way to make breakfast is going to a panaderia and buy bread, yogurt, fruit, etc., and eat in your room or, for a better view, a bench in Plaza de las Armas. If you feel up for a heavier breakfast full of energy, I would recommend Illary Café Restaurant, Calle Procuradores, just off the Plaza de las armas. B range from 5.50 to 8 soles (about $ 1.50 to 2.50 USD) and come with fresh juice, the preference of eggs (scrambled, fried, omelet), delicious fresh baked bread, jam, butter, and a hot drink (coca tea, hot chocolate, coffee). To find a cheap lunch, avoid the streets of downtown, where the waiters harass you as you walk down the street until you enter their restaurant. Opt for the side streets where you can find local food. A full meal with soup, a dish of rice and meat, and juice will cost 2.25 to 3 soles (less than a dollar). These restaurants also serve dinner.If you feel about a different taste you can venture down Calle Procuradores once again, where will be served a feast for 10 soles (about $ 3 USD) in any restaurant. At this price you get: a drink of courtesy (glass of wine or pisco sour), an appetizer, soup, main course, desert and coffee or tea. In any of these restaurants you can choose dishes from the Italian, Mexican or Peruvian Amazon. In order not to lose any of the spectacular sites of Cusco and the surrounding areas have to offer, to buy the Tourist Boleto for 70 Soles ($ 20 USD) or 35 Soles ($ 10 USD) with a student ID. This ticket provides access to 16 museums and archaeological sites which are all very impressive.Finally, do not let that tourism in Cusco intimidate you. No need to spend all the money the store and restaurant owners that you spend. Instead, find the hidden alternative, which not only allows you to continue to travel cheap, but it will give a new view on the culture of the Peruvian city of Cusco.

Keep a journal of travel to capture your vacation memories

 When I was twenty years my grandmother invited me to Europe for two weeks. I had never been abroad before and was excited about the trip. When I told one of my teachers in my travels to come, he suggested: "Keep a journal. Over ten years later, I am so grateful for his suggestion that I can get back on my memories of that first trip to Europe caught in my journal.Keeping Travel magazine is very simple. Bring a journal with you on your holidays and record things of interest to you. What is interesting is what captures the eye can not be tourist attractions, but a small detail, something in your hotel room or a conversation you hear in the elevator, or perhaps something about the transport system. Your newspaper is the best memory you could bring back from holiday, because it will be more personal. It's a good idea to choose a style you like the magazine. Whether or not lined paper, or leather cover with a tarp or - pick up a newspaper that feels good in your hands. The size of your newspaper is also important. Some people think that a magazine Travel must be small and very portable. But others prefer to work with a larger log size. My newspaper has always been about 8 ½ "x 11" size as an ordinary paper and is the size I prefer. I have not found any real challenges with the transport, it fits into a backpack. A good trick is to get some type of waterproof covering for your newspaper - as a heavy plastic bag with a good seal or one of those plastic bags you can find in a stationery store. You never know when something in your bag is not disclosed, or it might start to rain - and it might just ruin your newspaper. Consider also the realization of extra plastic bags or plastic bags to bring brochures and postcards to put in your diary. You will probably find things during the day you want to paste into your paper the night in your hotel. After something easy to carry in half the battle. Always have something to write when you have your newspaper. Think also carry a variety of pens, markers, crayons or pastels to give your newspaper an artistic touch. Even if you can make stick figures, a newspaper has a way to unleash your creativity. You may find yourself quickly scribble in the margins of things, or writing short poems. Tourist maps are also a wonderful thing to consider adding to your newspaper, because they show where you were. You can glue the sections of the map to see where you were that day and then another article on another day to follow where you were the next day. Bring a glue stick to glue postcards and brochures in your journal. Bring a small pair of scissors so you can cut or cut into shapes you like. Keep these items handy in a plastic bag. There are so many things you can consider taking it in your journal. Impressions of the sites you've seen that day. A description of a meal you had. A description of a person you saw in a museum or a cafe that has caught your attention. A list of things you want on your vacation yet. Any feelings that arose from being on vacation - frustrations with travel or do you think of the hotel you are staying in, that your flight has been similar. It is all the little details that make your trip. Here are some logging calls to get you started on keeping a diary Travel / Vacation: What was my inspiration to come here? What is my first impression of this place? What are the ten things I want to be sure about this package? What am I happy / nervous about doing regarding my vacation? Is this the first time I came here? If not, describe other time I'm here as travel guides and information do I need this place? What is my goal for this vacation? Education, relaxation, dining, family time, Romance Have I ever considered traveling alone? To where? ten places What I want next visit?

Who says hitchhiking is dangerous?

 I arrived in Santiago de Chile in early November in search of adventures. I went into the desert north and a week later I drove from San Pedro de Atacama in a rented Nissan 2x4 pick-up truck with a Seattleites, two Australians and a Quebeqouis that I had all met in the last seven days. Although I was the youngest and least experienced riders in the group was agreed my new friends, my bike after endless pestering.Thankfully, overlooked the not-so-smart, but very boring Chilean bureaucrats, the fact that doesn my New Jersey provisional license 't allow me to drive out of state when I crossed the border in Bolivia. My companion and I spent four days in the Atacama desert, sleep under some of the Starri sky in the world to see bathing in hot springs erupt geysers, amazing pink flamingos as they fed on crustaceans in salt lakes, driving through canyons, climb sand dunes, chasing llamas, and receiving second degree burns from the sun. We have one car in the sand fifty yards from the road and 30 miles from the nearest town, but put endurance, 90 minutes of wheel-spinning, and creative use of a carjack us back on the highway. All the years of Spanish study really came in handy when I arrest dissuade us had the cops for illegal camping. seemed easy for us every obstacle as another opportunity for an exciting challenge and the excursion was the greatest adventure of my life up to this point.In the end of November I left and went to Mendoza, Argentina west along Route 7 with 30 kilograms on his back and thumb. My extensive travels had taught me to expect the unexpected and no equipment or gear could better prepare myself for the unexpected as an optimistic mood and an open mind. The last week I knew that hitchhiking would be a cheap but slow way to cross the thousand kilometers of highway between Mendoza and Buenos Aires. I had no idea that hitchhiking was an eye-opening exploration of the Argentine labor movement culture.I fulfills two Argentine truck driver, Pipo and Vincente, a YPF gas station directly on Route 7, and I asked if he Pipo me would be trip to Buenos Aires. He agreed to take, but hinted that it might be a while before I reach my goal. We immediately bonded over our mutual dislike of Chilean culture and our common interest in beautiful women who passed. (I admit I exaggerated my views and share me in grace Pipo's.) In my first argument with Vincente, he asked me if I was 10 pesos (about $ 3 U.S.) was thought a fair price for the hire of a prostitute . We spent several hours reading through products in the mall and radios, computers, DVD players, clothing, flip flops, refrigerators and mobile phones. Pipo and Vincente amused themselves by selecting random words from the women's section in Carrefour (a South American equivalent of Sears) and urged me to try it. Vincente finally to the purchase of a lawn chair, a suitcase, soap, shampoo, and. He spent a total of 258 pesos ($ 82 U.S.)-about a third of his weekly wage, about half of my weekly budget in Argentina, five times the price of a 500-gram steak in a restaurant in the up scale and 26 times the amount that Vincente Fair to a dinner to pay hooker.At view my friends attacked me with a flood of angry easily and consistently funny jokes. "He wants to know your name," said Vincente voluptuous waitress, "he did not know just how to ask you in Spanish." "Stephanie". the waitress told me through her long fluttering eyelashes.As I turned my head from the Argentine tasty back to the table, I discovered Vincente shoe, where my record was only. When Vincente I continued to promote in my flirtation with the waitress, I reminded him that I had a girlfriend. Evidence of his cunning wit, he pointed out that over the ocean and I will never know. He said it is unusual in Argentina, also to be expected that men cheat on their wives and girlfriends. I suspect this is not so different from the United States, but at least American men may be less obvious to try in their infidelity. The middle-aged truck driver burst out laughing. Later, of course, in the desert I had a chance to pay back with Vincente my shoe in his own place setting. "He learns quickly," cried Pipo hilarious guffaws.By by Wednesday evening, I had already spent countless hours in the YPF QuickyMart, watching World Cup qualification and reading The History of Love by Nicole Krauss. Enthralled with the climax of the story in which a survivor of the Holocaust, which searches for meaning in a life in which he loses everyone and everything he loved-I was constantly interrupted by Vincente's irreverent jokes. When I read my traveling companion was sitting next to me watching porn at Pipo's cell phone. The technology has really done some wonderful things. During the half time of the Brazil / Uruguay game, a pair of prostitutes went to the gas station. Their insightful garments such as dresses made only by the word of the most liberal definition of qualified trying little hide their less-than-pleasing numbers. My friends asked me if I wanted to have sex with one of the two. A previously mentioned, that he treated me. I politely declined.The hookers left. I put my book. They put their porn. Pipo minutes later knocked me on the shoulder and showed me a video of a girl with two enormous big black penis in her mouth. He asked me if my girlfriend in the activities shown in the video. When I told him that she did not answer it by assuming that it more difficult for our relationship. I started a new chapter. He began a new video. After Brazil beat Uruguay 2-1, pulled his Pipo pornographic cell phone and told me that I sleep on the roof of his friend's truck, where I not be annoyed by the morning dew or the police.I most of the time spent on Thursday and Friday with Pipo's cousins who live in Maipu (urban sprawl community on the outskirts of Mendoza, where I met Pipo). They were very friendly and open and eager to share their meat-eating kitchen with me (a bit of a shock to my largely vegetarian diet). Over lunch we saw Men of Honor on TV that inspires a discussion about racism in the United States and the rest of the world.Pipo and Vincente their Yanqui friend (me) boasted that all her colleagues Camioneros and all other with whom they just talk. The two truck drivers had never spoken with a North American before my acquaintance. As our meeting was exciting and interesting for me, it could have been interesting to have for them. "He is not like we shit" Pipo would tell his friends. "He reads books and poems. He does not want to sleep with prostitutes. He remains faithful to his girlfriend even though she is thousands of kilometers away. "This last point, all shocked and disappointed Pipo's nieces, who fascinated my blonde hair and blue eyes.Once seemed we went from Maipu on Friday evening, I began to understand how different Pipo was on its employees. His incessant screaming and demeaning women decreased. Talk shifted from Pussy to politics. We talked about Bush and he told me that before meeting me, he thought that all Americans was conservative warmongering idiotas as our President. He told me about his family situation. When he was in my age, not knowing what a condom was, he had his first son. "I have a friend, we touched each other, we got hot, and she became pregnant," Pipo said. He had a daughter two years later with the same woman and a son, three years after that with another woman. He and his children are now living with his girlfriend and her two children from previous lovers. Pipo alone supports them all, and he has neither of his former lover in years.Two heard hours after leaving Maipu, we arrived in San Luis, where Pipo's family lives. I spent the weekend sleeping on the floor of his living room / dining room, eating meals cooked at home, visit more cousins than I could count, and told the audience excited about my travels and the United States. Although I was itching to Buenos Aires to come, I was sad to leave San Luis on Sunday afternoon. Pipo and his family had in me so much hospitality and gave me one of my best travel experiences ever. Monday morning, five days after leaving Mendoza, I beckoned to me from Pipo at a loading ramp on the outskirts of El from Capital Federal and in Buenos Aires, one of the largest cities in the world in search of my next big adventure.
