i'm not in guatemala

Okay. Let me just say that South America is NOT Central America. I know, I know. What a ridiculous thing to have to say. But for some reason I imagine Argentina as mas or menos lo miso como Guatemala. But this is not Guatemala. I love Guatemala and look forward to returning sometime in the future. But one of the scariest things about Guatemala, for me, were the buses. Winding around twisty roads as I traveled from Guatemala City, over to the East Coast and up to Flores, I just closed my eyes and hoped for the best as my body rocked and rolled around the seat I shared with one or two other people.

The buses in Argentina and Chile are not the same. These are some swanky traveling machines! And I am pretty sure that I haven’t just stumbled into the more expensive touristy version—there are lots of “Mendocinos” riding with me. It’s an enjoyable breeze to travel around here. Wahoo!
