A Long Two Days

I am sitting at my aunt´s computer in Buenos Aires, Argentina. After two days of travel, beginning yesterday at five in the morning with checking in for my flight to Denver. I was about half an hour early when I was waiting in line at security, until I got pulled aside and had ALL my video and camera equipment checked for explosives residue. I barley made my flight but I did become friends with the homeland security agent who searched my things

I flew from Denver to D.C. and endured a layover that seemed to last a whole lot more than six hours. After bording my final plane (to Buenos Aires) at ten last night I was dead tired. I ate my steak dinner which tasted more like a glorified strip of beef jearkey with lukewarm gravy I crashed and woke up an hour before landing.

I arrived at 11:00 AM (five hours ahead of tucson) and brezed through customs. Then it was off to my aunt and uncle´s apartment which is amazing (and whose exact layout I am still trying to figure out). I did some greocery shopping and am itching to go out and explore the city, which is georgous and huge (so far I am at least a head taller than everyone I have seen so blending in may be difficult).
