Moments

- drinking a Brahmes in a garage-turned-dico Easter night in Bariloche with Joe from England

- Standing under the falls at Iguazu, screaming at the top of lungs only to be drowned out by the sound of the water

- 1st night at Azucar, after the nicest drinks @ Milion...learning to dance Salsa with a girl from Barcelona, an Argentinian cop and his friend "Walter"

- Dancing a traditional kerchief dance with the sweetest old woman at the Bicentenario, hundreds of people making a circle around and being the only "gringa" in a whirlwind of traditional dresses, scarves, and snapping fingers

- Making a tent in Masters for movie watching

- Spending the night in the Bariloche bus station, tent pitched and locked between the main station and the outside by the security guards with the girls and our adopted stray dog....being protected from the homeless men

- Petunias camping in Bariloche when the old man took our passports for the night, then told us to sleep "tranquila"

- Bariloche little girl getting mad we took her bottle saying "es mio puta!"

- Passing out on the beach in Mar de Plata....one of the worse sun-burns of my life

- Watching polo all day at Zarate

- Riding in mendoza, leading, then galloping with the gaucho

- 1st bus ride to pilar...Belen the girl who saved me by knowing my stop then the bus driver who made sure I got there. Meeting Val at a gas station by myself, hoping for the best (and ending up having one of the best experiences of my life @ her farm)

- CEA mendoza night - guitar,harmonica,singing "stand by me"

- playing chicken in the river misiones province only to find out there are poisonous snakes

- "weekend" 5 day trip for semana santa to Bariloche, then to El Bolson 2 hrs south with some of the coolest chicas around...camping in a 2 person tent and freezing, discovering small-world moments with Tato's hostel, seeing the most dreadlocks of my life, steph's 1st horseback riding, El Pueblito's, lots of new friends..., learning to check the dates on ourbus tickets, and sooo much more

- hearing Mauricio beat-box for the 1st time late night outside residencia
