Rosario & Patagonia!

Alright, quick up-date! Last weekend I went with my study abroad group to Rosario. Its an amazing city of about one million people and is right on the Parana River. There are some beaches and people rent kyaks to go across the river and hang out on the islands on the other side. If I moved to Argentina, this would probably be the place I´d move to! I slacked on putting pictures up before I left for the big trip I´m currently on, sorry!

So right now I´m in Puerto Madryn. Google it! Its in the Patagonia region but it is on the coastal side. I took a 22 hr bus ride down here, left at 1pm yesterday and got here at 11am today...whew! Ok well we had like an hour break inbetween our two busses but still. Our first bus was AMAZING! lots of leg room and big seats, our second bus was a ´semi-cama´ so the seats were half as big and had half as much leg room. The worst part was that they blasted the heaters for the first half of the trip, making it impossible to sleep. Eventually, around 2am, I fell asleep so I got a decent amount of sleep. I´m so excited to be here in Puerto Madryn! The hostel we booked is really nice! Super clean and really chill. We´re waiting to get our room right now and then afterwards we´re going to grab some food and go on a bike ride our to a sea lion reserve! Then tomorrow we are going to go on a tour to 3 or 4 different spots to take a boat ride to see whales and also to see Penguins and seals! I can´t wait! Then we´ll leave tomorrow night at 7pm for Calafate, another 23 hr bus trip. But hey! I´m saving on hostels!

I´ll try posting tonight to update you on what we did today. But that´s all for now!

Chau!
