Update from the last port...

i've kind of skipped forward 2 months of my trip to make an announcement...

In 2 days i have a ticket back home.
I must say i'm a more than a little nervous but packing will be such fun. I've spent the last 4 weeks here in Buenos Aires, trying to do all the things i never had time for last year, but funny thing i still have run out of time. I've been trying to maximize my time, going out all but 3 nights, running all over town, purchasing when purchasing has lost all meaning, all the while carrying around a 5 weekold cold, smoker's cough and coldsores. My body is taking its toll and upstairs is a bit of a mess too. For the first time since i left, i've been astraltravelling to australia... you what? I mean i'm kind of there already, i suppose trying to make the transition smooth. Either way, i'm excited about coming back!! i have plans and projects except nothing long term...
I've been asked a million times when and if i'm coming back here. Of course i'd love to, but i honestly can't be asked thinking that far ahead, scheduling like i had done before my travel plans years in advance in my mad dash to get out of the country. Whenever if ever, is how i see it now. If anything, I'm looking forward to getting a 4x4 and seeing a bit of Victoria, people say my home state is lovely, i should know, right?

I already miss everyone here, and the goodbyes... oh geeez. I think i'll go down to San Telmo today, a part of town that closes the streets every sunday and overworked overstressed Porteños stroll slowly down the streets, passing by the antique stalls, arts and crafts, the bands on pavement, street performers of all sorts, and of course to see the tango dancers onthe street. I'll miss my MATE, i wonder if i can get yerba in melbourne, surely..

Later.
