WARNING MANY TYPING ERRORS DIFFERENT KEYBOARD SETUP

This isn't going to be a full post because I have to pay (.33 cents per hour). I finally made it go Buenos Aires - not without a few hiccups. I lost my plastic shovel and my tri pod. I think the airline my have taken them out of my checked baggage because they were both on the same piece of luggage and the last time I saw them both was loading my luggage. I guess that is there little way of telling me not to bring these type of items on the plane. No big loss.

Then leaving the airport the lady tried to short change me (or maybe it was an accident) so I told her I didn't want to take the shuttle anymore and just give me all my money back. I took a cab - that cost more than the shuttle but at least he took me right to the place I wanted to stay and he didn't miss count.

Im staying at the Hotel Alcazar 935 Avenida de Mayo until Monday. The room I got was a little more than I expected (30 dollars/per night) but I wanted to stay in the heart of the city (micocentro) so I would save having to take cabs from place to place. Plus today was my first day and I just didn't feel like sleeping in a 8 person dorm.

Culturally speaking being here reminds me a lot of Spain. I pretty much understand them and I have had many people tell me how well I speak Spanish. If it were only one I wouldn't pay any attention but I think three is worth crowing over ,)

I have photos and other stuff coming so stay tuned.
