One down...

Wow, I am not doing well with keeping up here. Welp, procrastination is my specialty (I'm working on it).

Argentina, what can say? Well now that I am in Uruguay I guess I can say, thank you. Thank you for the awesome 7 weeks you showed me, for your hospitality, for your lack there of, for catching me up on all the red meat I hadn't eaten in four years, for shaping my Spanish accent into a sea of 'sh' sounds so that I now sound like a Porteño, for Lomos and Panchos and the 42,000 cheek kisses that greeted me at every meeting. Thank you for the wine of Mendoza, the smiles of Cordoba, the floods of Tigre, the awesome people everywhere and the HORRIBLE last week you gave me. Thank you for allowing me to check you off my bucket list after 7 years of strong desire (thanks to Senora Olivera), and finally, thank you for setting such a high bar for the rest of the world that I will see during this adventure.

My direct route since Córdoba (omits side trips)
