Tuesday, Nov. 25th, 2008. It’s Day 149 on The Big Trip.
Today we're catching an overnight bus - is there any other kind in Argentina? - to Buenos Aires! We'll be there for up to a week, or so we prognosticate. A quick update of our goings-on in Bariloche, Argentina would not be sufficient without noting a nice Sunday bike ride around Circuito Chico, just outside of Bariloche. The views were - dare I say - Patagonian?
In other news it's nearing December. That means a few things. It means a December (birthday) in warm Patagonia. It means February is soon upon us, which means I need to find the cheapest month-quantity of food and thereby determine whether I can afford a month in Valle de Cochamó. Most of all, though, it means a chance to make new family memories!

1. What the differences of weather in Argentina compared to your U.S. home? How have you adapted to this change?
2. Is the weather nice in Argentina or does it snow a lot?
3. I have noticed that different people from London are very laid back as well as very organized. Have you noticed the people of Argentina being very laid back or without a care?
4. How do the customs in Argentina differ from the customs in the United States? How are living and working conditions different from those of the U.S.?
5. Athletics is very important in many countries. Being Italian my family has always been hooked on the World Cup and futbol. How do Argentinians feel and value futbol (or other athletics)?
6. Does the reality of the harsh weather, turbulance, and lack of visibility scare you as you travel through the Andes? IF so,how do you overcome that?
7. Is there any evidence of the crash site left?
8. In every culture there are different delicasies. Is there any food you have eaten in Argentina that you've never eaten before, or considered a delicasy?
9. In "Alive" we have read about the extreme weather condidtions of the Andes, would you say that the Andes weather conditions are that severe?
10. In my travels to Europe I found that they practiced a siesta, or a break in the middle of the day. Does Argentina practice this custom as Europe does?
11. Because of the harsh winter weather there is limited vegetation in the Andes. Has there been any effects on the vegetation due to recent global warming? How does Argentina's climate today differ from when the Fairchild crashed? Do you believe that survival would be less difficult now? Has there been any effects on the plant life? HOw does today's environment differ than that of the Fairchild?
Keep grinnin' kid! Can't wait to see ya
