Over and out

Jump to Comments

It’s one day before we head back home and have to face reality.  Our trip to Buenos Aires has been really spectacular!  There is so much going on in the city, so much to do.  If New York is the city that never sleeps then Buenos Aires in the city that goes to sleep really really late.  Last night Karisa and I enjoyed a dinner that started at 11:30 and ended around 1am.  Keeping up with the locals took a few days of adjustment, but now we’re starting to feel like true Porteños.  Last night was also a mission of sorts;  It was, after all, my 30th birthday.  To stave off the effects of old age, we were determined to spend the night like a couple of reckless twenty somethings.  In the end, I think we were successful – the final tally was 3 cab rides, 3 bars, 1 private party crashed, and 1 reggae “battle of the bands” show mistakenly attended.  Arriving back at the hotel at 6am, I felt younger than ever.

I suppose this wraps up the blog entries – aside from posting some more pictures from the trip next week.  Thank you to all of you who have shared my experiences in South America.  I hope you’ve enjoyed it.  Writing down my thoughts and the events has helped me keep them fresh in my memory(something old people like me need to worry about) – and I hope interesting to you, too.  This truly has  been an experience of a lifetime.  The lessons I’ve learned about conservation, the travel/cultural adventures, and the great friendships I’ve made will truly stay with me forever.  I’ve also learned how important home is to me.  While I cherish any opportunity I can get to explore and travel the world, I’ve never felt the need to reconnect with home as much as I have recently.  I’m eagerly anticipating sitting with as many of you as possible and sharing these experiences face to face.  Thank you for being with me in digital spirit!  Ate mais!
