... came and picked us up and took us to his house.  After sharing cake, photos, and stories, it was time to head back to Capital.  Ricardo kindly offered to drive us back to BA, and gave Jess a quick sight seeing tour of La Plata.  There aren't tons of sights, but the cathedral of La Plata is impressive.  Overall, it was a bittersweet day--it was great to see everyone, but sad to say goodbye...who knows when I will see them again.  Thank goodness for Facebook.

... our wee hostel and jumped on the tube to the ferry terminal. Can I just say I would not recommend this to anyone in future, the tube was heaving at that time of the morning and we could barely fit onto any of the carriages with our backpacks on. I´m sure we might have made a few locals a bit grumpy that morning, I know I wouldn´t like to be squished in beside someone´s extensive luggage when I was trying to get to work in the morning!!! Anyway, we made it just about ...

... checking out the next day I headed off to visit another bodega. It was supposed to be a short bus ride out of town - nothing too fancy - but the lady I was sat next to didn't seem to know of the place once we got chatting so I was beginning to think I'd set off on an adventure to who knows where - it turned out my pronunciation of 'bodega' wasn't quite right and it wasn't long before I was hopping off the bus and knocking on the door. Whilst I was waiting, the odour ...

I woke up, grabbed some breakfast, and took advantage of the free internet, before returning to the room to pack up my things. There were two dudes there - inconsiderate dudes, I might add. Claus was still sleeping, and though there was plenty of daylight in the room, they still turned on all the lights, and were playing music and chatting loudly. Maybe they were related to those obnoxious Scandinavian girls from the Punta del Este ...

... asked them where all the female Spanish tourists hang out? The staff suggested I head down to La Rambla, as it's a good place to stroll in the evenings. It's an oceanfront boulevard that wraps around the entire old town, which sits on a bit of a peninsula. It was around 20:00 when I got down there and surprisingly, it was cool and breezy - less than 28 deg C ... wow! I walked along La Rambla for a bit, then headed inland over to Park Rodo ...

... flotte opplevelser. De skal fordoeyes. Saanne dager som vi har naa, hvor vi egentlig ikke finner paa saa mye, hjelper til med det. Spise god mat, drikke god vin, rusle rundt i gamlebyen, sove mye, titte litt paa tv (Chelsea-Arsenal 1-2:-) og skrive paa bloggen vaar:-) Fjerning av uoenskede badegjester er ikke alltid den kuleste jobben, denne gangen en "haandfull":-)

El viernes 25 de Julio de 2008 decidimos hacer una pequeña excursión a la ciudad de La Plata. Hacía realmente mucho tiempo que queríamos conocer la ciudad, sobre todo por lo comentarios constantes acerca de su belleza y sus atractivos y por el hecho de encontrarse más bien cerca de la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Ese día salimos temprano a tomar el 129 del Grupo Plaza que va a La Plata, cuyos micros salen de Retiro cada 20 min aproximadamente ...

Speaking of hot girls. La Plata. La Plata is a college city about an hour outside of BA. No tourist ever goes here because there is no reason to go here. Except of course for hot girls, apparently. Of course I have only found the error in my ways, by not coming here, yesterday by coming here. This is were Aug lived when he was in Argentina because this is where his job was based, otherwise he would have been in BA ...

Sorry again for the delay, it was a long trip home but we will continue where we last left off. Thursday morning we met Pastor Reinaldo and his family along with Piqui and Vanessa, our translators and friends from last year. We drove about 120 kilometers to the city of Choscomus, Argentina. Pastor Reinaldo wanted to share his vision for the future of La Mision Betesda and another small church located in Choscomus that he will be preaching in twice a month as an ...
