i couple days ago, i decided to head solo out of buenos aires, and took the train to Lanus, a small province to the south. this Sunday happened to be the day of the elections, and the current city governor won again, which didnt seem like too much of a big ordeal either way, nobody seems to be in huge favor of either person. anyway, they close the bars and everything down really early the night before and the entire world was really tranquil on sunday, which was nice for a day out. Lanus was really residential for the most part, and the more urban areas were all shut down. the sun came out, took time for a cafe, read the paper, watched futbol with the locals, and headed home for dinner.

heres the good part. feeling like you know your way around BAs mass transit? right .... so i took the wrong train home, and asked the kind old man, old enough to be your abuelos padre, if this was the train to constitucion - the station in BA - oh, no, wrong way! so he pulled me off the train, or rather, gripping my arm we guided eathother off, and pointing to the stairs i felt the moment of an argentinian blessing for not taking a train to the depths of the south ... so i make it back and onto my collectivo, the autobus, and then somehow am 15 minutes later stranded in the bus terminal outside of the city! ummm, la calle libertad??? so i get my own special bus that is beginning its rounds. haha. but i miss it AGAIN and end up at the train station so i take this time to meditate afer an hour on the bus system and finally am home i know i will never screw this up again1!!!

bueno. today i head to san isidro again, more bus and train adventures, to the north, to work with a art youth company .... lets hope better luck this time around, eh?
