    Day 12: Travel Day Badness

    22 janvier 2024, Argentine ⋅ 🌙 75 °F

    Y’all today had some highs and lows.

    Highs:
    We got to see two active volcanoes while flying back to Santiago.
    We had a long layover in Santiago so had some great steak sandwiches and did Buenos Aires research.

    Lows:
    Today was all travel.
    We got on the wrong fucking bus twice and a 70 minute ride became two hours and an Uber.

  • Day 13: Peso Mania and Plaza de Mayo

    23 janvier 2024, Argentine ⋅ 🌙 77 °F

    Fun fact: Argentina is experiencing major inflation and as a result there are four different currency rates. We needed about $130 for our 5 day hostel and then $50 a day on spending money ($380 total). When we extracted cash from the bank, we received around $490,000.00 ARG pesos in fat stacks!! We quickly shoved it into our backpack and ran to the hostel!

    Once the cash was stored, we visited the Plaza de la República and Plaza de Mayo. We finished the day with some shopping, nerd shit, and some delicious Argentinian steaks.

    Plaza de República
    Casa Rosadas
