Yes. That’s right. We’re going on a 20 hour bus ride to Mar del Plata.
Why?
Because we’re cheap adventurous.
We go from Mendoza -> Buenos Aires -> Mar del Plata. It will take us all night and part of tomorrow morning. The good news? We have cama suites, which are equivalent to first class reclining seats but without the champagne (however, we do get steak and wine). We also get to watch movies and get to see the moonlit Argentinian countryside whizzing by our panoramic windows. It’s all about the EXPERIENCE. It’s like going through the Vietnamese countryside by bus but without the 4 goats, 3 pigs and 800 babies sharing your seat. It could be worse. =) And this helps reduce my already monstrous carbon footprint (you know how many points you accumulate for taking an airplane?!). And Aerolineas workers’ favourite hobby is going on strike (like they did yesterday, for example!). And I get sick on airplanes. And we are luggage overweight (it is a little embarrassing: we are carrying TWO massive suitcases – our last month in Buenos Aires all packed up – and I am sure that when I fly back to SFO in one week I will do like my mother and be asked to move things between bags. You know how embarrassing it is to shuffle underwear and socks and laundry in front of a line of waiting American Airlines passengers at check-in? It’s good fun).
And you know what else makes this so great?! I will FINALLY have the time to finish Breaking Dawn, the LAST (thank God) of the four Twilight Series books.
WARNING: If you are currently reading the Twilight series DO NOT READ FURTHER. SPOILER AHEAD!
Will Edward’s and Bella’s half-vampire half-human baby survive to marry Jacob in this weird semi-incest ridden drama that is every 14-year-old girl’s twisted fantasy?! I will soon find out! Once I am done, maybe, just maybe, I will be able to recover the brain cells that I lost from reading the three previous books. =)
Until mañana! Besitos!
