Bueeeeeeeenos, Aires....

Hello all!
Writing here, sipping an Argentinian Malbek wine and relaxing after a nearly 24 hour bus ride, finally! Needless to say, I am safely in Argentina. It is hard to believe it is my first time in this country whose border is shared with the one I have now spent significant time in, but well, here I am. I left Chile at around 8 yesterday after my roomate Roberto gave me a lift to the bus station in Valpo at the sunrise time of around 7:30. I got on the bus, and prepaired for the journey which was long, but plesant. So many people were surprised that I was going in bus instead of plane, because a bus is at least 6 times slower. Or, just takes WAY longer. 24 hours versus 4... BUT, its also more than $200 cheaper, and you can see scenery fly by and just think and space out for a while. So, duh... It is one of my preffered methods of travel. And how else do we spend days, anyways? Thinking, spacing out, doing "things"...??? So this was just another day, only with less corporal movement. I am actually reading this really good book right now called What is the What, by Dave Eggers. He also wrote A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, which is excellent as well. This book now, What is the What, is biographical and about a Lost Boy who escaped from, and survived the Sudanese Civil War. It is at some points, although true, very very hard to believe. He describes (it is written in beautiful first-person prose) the way hundreds and thousands of people had been murdered, at any given time, and by all methods, by their own people.
And this is something my young mind can STILL not Really believe. The way human life is indespensibale to the point where a single movement of the index finger around a plastic apparatus can just BOOM. Send someone into the next stage of this human, soul experience... well, shit. I have to go eat lunch with Johnathans mother and sister now, So, I will pick up next time... stay tuned! :)
Chau cahu.
