... beer. i might have only met this women for a short time, but i somehow feel responsible for her. i wouldn't want to leave Santiago if he hadn't sorted herself out that day. I receive an email from Madame a week later saying that she left the job after 3 days because it was terrible. She has found board with a nice Catholic lady who makes her pray alot, and she is searching for a better job - i suggested tour guiding.

... a near pedestrian only area that is several blocks long and wide, but sadly, all shops are closing. Not even a McDonalds or KFC. (Not that I have ever when traveling). This area is quite dark with lots of people hanging out. We find nothing we need in this area, but do find where the government buildings are and are prepared for tomorrow so head back towards the hotel.

Wade, B&amp;H, myself, and Iain and Carol (a nice couple from the United Kingdom, but now living in Australia) made short work of it, out by the hotel pool. But there wasn't much time for chit chatting - we have an early bus to Argentina tomorrow!

... extremely popular in their area of Germany, near Rostock?! <br><br>Naturally their English was better than my 'nichts gut' German, but they did seem very entertained whenever I dropped in a bit of their native tongue, so to speak... <br><br>I worked out that every time I ...
