We had a hard time deciding whether or not to stay in Gualeguaychu over the weekend. They do a carnival there every Saturday in January and a lot of people come into town for it. But then in the end we decided it would end up being too many days to kill waiting for it and figured that Buenos Aires would probably have something going on as well.
And we got couch surfing lined up again (it is seriously the best thing ever when you're travelling - or we have just been lucky so far). Now were staying with an American guy named Tom who works down here. So far we've only put our backpacks down and had Chinese take out, but he seems really nice and his apartment is sweet and really pretty big and central.
He has to work tomorrow so we're taking an early night tonight and then tomorrow me and Dylan will head out and explore the city while he's working. We really need to get busy on the getting gifts business... we've been putting it off since we didn't want to carry a bunch of extra stuff, but weird as it feels, now this trip is actually coming to an end. A week from now I'll be home. So strange.
I've been in the Gualeguaychu Carnival last year, it's a must go trip! We rent an apartment in Bueno Aires with Our Buenos Aires apartments and they helped us making the reservations for the hotel an tickets to the event. It was petty hot that weekend (even at night) but we had a great time. Very friendly people! Greetings, Paul
