LONG bus ride today...
at 12:15 i embark on a 20+ hour journey to Iguazu Falls...and it will all be worth it. we´ll see if i can overcome my typical motion sickness and read some on the bus; if not, i will be watching lots of movies (provided they show more than one) and dozing off and on, and hopefully my ipod will keep its charge.
Cordoba has been relaxing...it was so cold the first day and a half that i stayed inside a fair amount - thus the pictures i uploaded - if you didn´t get the link let me know - and finally invested in a scarf and gloves. of course yesterday it was a lot warmer and i didn´t need either piece of warmth equipment at all, but they may come in handy until i get to sunny Rio. I took a few pictures as I explored the city, and realized that maps are often deceiving - walking from "nueva cordoba" where i am staying to the center of town takes maybe 10 minutes. i´m nearly finished Love in the Time of Cholera - they´ve boarded the ship, for those of you that have read it - and went to see Transformers in English with subtitles (yelling "move!" in English is much easier than it´s Spanish translation, "desalojen!") and decided it was exceedingly bad but also freakin awesome. How do they do that stuff with computers? i am not sure i actually ever played with transformers as a child or watched the cartoon, but there is definitely more than meets the eye.
the hostel i´ve stayed at has a family-style dinner option, and i took advantage of that last night to have some yummy ravioli and salad. i fell asleep on the floor during the Argentina-Mexico game last night but only after i saw Argentina score all 3 goals. Now i don´t know who i´ll root for in the Copa final, Brasil or Argentina....depends on what country i´m in, I suppose.
i hope to be in warmer weather next time i write!
