... rt was uns bei der Arbeit erwartet. Zum Glück war unsere Sprachlehrerin Sandra mit die uns die Teile die wir nicht verstanden übersetzte. Die Kinder, die in dieses Kinderheim kommen sind meistens Geschwister und wurden vom Staat ihren Eltern weggenommen weil sie geschlagen oder auf irgendeine andere Weise misshandelt wurden. So wurde ihnen zum Beispiel erklärt, dass sie die Kinder nicht umarmen dürfen, da es bei frühern Helfern schon ...

... Dan Brown´s Angels and Demons and Fidel Castro´s autobiography!

Yesterday evening we said goodbye to Evan, who returns home to continue his work to educate the yoof of today. It was sad to see him go!

Some other things we have noticed about Argentina -

Most rooms have one electrical switch that doesn´t do anything.

Road signs
- warning you not to drink and drive, with a picture of a car with skid marks behind it ...

... hand movements. I realised that he was only doing it to the music in the car(which was blaring by the way) so I took no notice. We were driving along a main road and I could see sign posts for where we wanted to go so I was happy. Next thing he took a sharp turn off the main road and I didnt think that I saw a signpost for where we wanted to go so I started to get worried then. We were driving through what seemed to be a rough area and ti was ...

... all remember that graduation party). I knew i had until 12:30 before I needed to check out or pay a late checkout fee. I took full advantage. Marsha wasn't so thrilled. After i got up and slowly came around we did walk around Cordoba and did a bit of a city tour. I said my good byes to Cordoba and Marsha later that afternoon on my way back down to San Martin de Bariloche. It was only a 22 hour bus ride. For the future, I think my limit is about 20 hours.

... us know when to get off to go to Che Guevara's childhood home, and soon found ourselves outside the home/museum. A scuplture of a young Che sat on the porch. Inside we were given english guide books to read as we wandered through the museum. The information, photographs and memorabilia were very interesting and it was well worth 5 peso (USD1.5) entrance fee. There was an information service set on the lawn who were very helpful in providing a ...

... my numerous attempts to learn French... this is exactly what we have always wanted, we just didnt know it until now... So yep, we left Cordoba feeling pretty relaxed and ready to hit the North for some mountains! Oh, and how could I forget.. in our hostel we had literally the most terrifying maid ever... I will refer to her simply as ´Maggie´... but know that she is a terrifying-omnipresent-clean towel wielding-spanish speaking monster! You have been fairly warned....

Die Stadt heisst natürlich Cordoba aber ich hab von so einigen den Ausdruck Bordoba gehört...passt für mich auf jeden Fall ein wenig den wirklich viel zu tun gibts hier nicht.Selbst die Locals die ich hier kennen gelernt habe sind nicht so überzeugt von ihrer Stadt...zumindest die die ich getroffen habe. Cordoba ist die Unistadt in Argentinien ganze 7 Unis gibts hier und dementsprechend auch viele junge Leute die das Nachtleben hier zu etwas besonderen machen ...

... once stretched over most of Argentina and Brazil. Now it is restricted to the area round Iguazu, and a few National Parks. Replaced by farmlands. However, just before entering Cordoba, the mountains rose up. In the distance. The other side of the city. That was good - mountains, again. Cordoba seems a very pleasant city. Colonial architecture, blending well with more modern buildings. Unfortunately, there are less cats than in Buenos Aires. However, there were some good ...

... cabins in Rosario bus terminal (I think she just wanted to escape the freezing waiting hall for a moment - seriously, sitting there in my t-shirt, long-sleeved t-shirt, pullover and fleece together with hat and gloves I watched as my breath condensed into mist the moment it hit the air), so we caught a taxi there once we'd pulled into to the large, multi-level bus terminal at the south-east corner of the city. Cordoba is where you come for Jesuit temples ...

... so often he´d start yelling at a tree limb that was in his way and he hacked it away with his machete... all while screaming ridiculously at the limb of course. Needless to say.. John loved the guy. He was crazy yet cool and carried a machete. What more does one need?? My horse (pinta) was quite a wily character as well, and loved to do exactly the opposite of what I wanted him to do. I think horses really know who the first ...
