Buenos Aires

I'm in Buenos Aires now (flew in yesterday) and finally getting over my jet lag. It took a little time (and copious amounts of sleep) but I'll be off and running and ready to see the city tomorrow.

The North Island of New Zealand was AMAZING. I stayed with Holly, a friend of my sister's who lives in Auckland and she was wicked to hang out with. She took me to Bethells Beach which is an amazing black sand beach about 20 minutes from her house that gave me one of the greatest sunsets I've seen on my trip thus far (Africa was also a land of fabulous sunsets). I went zorbing and black water rafting in a glow worm cave (basically floating in a rubber inner tube down a serene river in a cave) on the North Island and basically just re-charged my batteries and got ready for South America. I should be off to Patagonia in a few days and I'm exhilirated and also a bit scared. My Spanish is coming back a bit (I talked to a Chileno at one point and had no idea where I was pulling my words out of but we understood each other, so that's good from a Spanish-speaking viewpoint).

I am excited to be almost home though. Less than 2 months and I'll get to see my family (I'm really excited about seeing my dog because she can't talk to me over the phone so I miss her terribly). A little over 2 months and I'll be in Columbia visiting quite a few of my friends (April 7th to 14th, so mark your calendar, Mai) before beginning my yoga teacher training in San Fran the week after. I'll also know where I'm going to law school at that point so that'll be nice to have set up. I'm ready to live it up in South America and then get myself home!
