I stare up at the vast star spotted Argentinian sky from the large 2nd floor bus window on the way to Buenos Aires and think to myself of all the other people in the past and future that have smiled and will smile looking up at the stars as I am right now. Thinking, wondering, taking a moment, however brief,  from the insanity of normal day life and just having an appreciation of being.

All of us sharing one instantaneous life in a finite amount of infinite parallel moments. Taking the time to appreciate what we have, the awesome wonder of an experience, of reflection, of life.

Being able to make our life and those we meet greater and greater.  It´s losing yourself in one of those moments and saying to yourself, el mundo es hermoso.

I wrote this on the 17hr bus ride from Tucuman to Buenos Aires last week.  I haven´t updated the blog in a while so thought I´d toss this up for fun! I´m not sure if this kind of thing is the answer to when people ask if I´m traveling to ¨find myself¨, but maybe! The one thing I´ve loved about traveling and these crazy long distances between places is that it gives me time to just think about anything and everything.  I don´t think we take enough time out in normal life to just do that without distractions for hours on end.

In normal news though,  Buenos Aires has been a lot of fun! I´ve met quite a few amazing people here at the hostel, many in the same place in their lives that I am which is great hahah

A couple nights ago we went out to a salsa club/pub for a few drinks and the people dancing combined salsa and samba into some awesome dancing.  The moves these people were pulling off were incredible!  I don´t know if they had just grown up on it or were actual professionals, but I really wish I had had my camera to snap some pictures or movies of the stuff they were doing!

Headed to NZ tomorrow night (leave wed night…arrive saturday morning…figure that one out!), which I´m pretty psyched for!  I´ve already started looking into the WWOOFing (organic farming help for food and lodging) locations in the different areas of NZ and some of them are truly awesome.  I have no plans yet, but I´ll figure it out as I go along (as this is the best way to travel by far!) haha

Next post will hopefully have some good stories from NZ next week!
