Argentina

Okay, so Argentina was interesting. It was a great trip, but it was so different to be in a country that is still developing! Who knew that even in bigger cities toilet paper can't be flushed? Or that stop signs don't exist! It was most interesting to hear cambios call for American money out on the streets.

What's a cambio? It's a money exchange person. Banks will exchange American dollars to pesos 1:9. Meaning every 1 dollar is 9 pesos. On the streets a cambio will exchange your dollars 1:13. The American dollar is extremely valuable because the value of a peso changes. While a dollar... is always a dollar.

Highlights of the trip include petting a mini llama (!!!), sipping the famous Argentine wine at wineries, having a real asado, admiring the European influence on architecture, speaking Spanish, experiencing Argentina's Independence day and election day, daily siestas, and ALL of the views.
