Had one of the most interesting bus rides so far on this trip from Peurto do Iguacu to Santa Fe. We took semi-cama class, which includes seats that almost fully reclined, dinner and champagne or wine. Along with dinner we were treated to a very interesting and inappropriate movie. I have no idea what it was called but sex scenes and birthing scenes all while serving dinner was not my idea of an appropriate movie choice. Then again, the following ´Hairspray´ would not have been my #1 pick either.
We got into Santa Fe early, at 7:30am and went in search of a hotel. After a few confusing moments of figuring out from which direction the sun rises, and where East is in comparison with North, a very exhausted James and I figured out how to use a map and found a hotel two blocks from the bus station.
Never have I had such flash back as walking into this hotel. I was slapped with the memory of being in my mother´s mom, Grandma Margaret´s, tiny appartment in New York. Not only was the furniture of the antique nature, it smelled like her too...not the best smell, but kind of comforting at the same time...I guess. Anwyays, it was cheap, it was safe, it was comfortable. They had warm showers and towels (a luxury!).
Santa Fe itself was...interesting. Took a long walk to the brewery, to find out that the museum was closed. Walked around, saw some fountains, some interesting colonial buildings, and ended up eating a spaghetti dinner at a bar on the street, and watching The Last Exorcism at the movie theatre. Now that is what I call living it local!
Looking forward to something a bit more interesting in Buenos Aires. We arrive there around 9:30pm tonight.
