Buenos Aires: Day 1

Tuesday, June 19 (Day 27)

Woke up ridiculously early to leave Hotel Hispania at 7:15am. So when I was moving my suitcases to the lobby it was still dark outside... -_- Not cool, world, not cool. We had a 10:30am flight from Cordoba to Buenos Aires but we had to take an hour bus ride into Cordoba from Alta Gracia. Since we went from a bus to a plane I thought I would sleep on the plane so I didn't have any coffee for breakfast. That was a big mistake. At least the plane was empty so I had a whole 3 seats to myself. But I couldn't sleep. I don't understand why I couldn't sleep. Also, my ears were building up pressure for most of the flight. I was in a lot of pain. They wouldn't pop. I tried everything. I finally got one to pop but the other one didn't pop under we were at the hotel. The only really stupid thing from this flight is they made me check my carry-on even though some of my classmates had bigger carry-ons and the majority of the overhead compartments were empty. It was so stupid. Not like it really matters. It took two seconds to get our suitcases from baggage claim because the flight was so empty. But to get baggage claim from the airplane we had to get on a bus. The hilarious part was the bus basically took us 20 feet. Our plane was parked right by the baggage claim entrance. LOL. I kind of like this flying trip when it came to how we got on the plane. We had to go up and down those rolling stairs thing instead of the normal terminal covered ramps we use in Chicago. I like these old style getting on and off planes. Well only because it isn't raining or snowing...

We briefly dropped our bags in Hotel Diplomat. The rooms are tiny. They are kind of like an RA dorm room in F.A.R. but with two twin beds. Actually this room could be smaller. :/ Oh well, it's only two days. That's what I have to keep telling myself. After that we had 30 minutes to get food so we found a place take you can get food to go on the corner so a bunch of us got sandwiches or salads. They were pretty good. I just had a ham and cheese sandwich but it was on this bread that was kind of buttery. It was nice and different from what I have been eating all month.

This bus tour was interesting. We thought it was just going to be our group on a bus. Nope. It was a public bus tour. I think it was the free one. It was kind of funny because we get on the bus and have confused faces because there are strangers on the bus. It was still good because it was in English and Spanish. All of us were pretty sleepy so most of us took little naps in the long drive around town parts. The Spanish just puts me to sleep. LOL. I was dozing in and out. There were parts we got off and got to take photos but the majority of it was on the bus. So some of us got decent naps. I don't think I did. I was in and out the whole time. I was trying to pay attention since it was pretty interesting. There were a lot of nice picture areas. I let my classmate use my camera to take pictures so I actually don't know what most of my photos from this tour look like. lol. I'll find out when I go through all my photos. :) The bus tour was 3 hours long... I kind of wanted a nap since I didn't sleep at all on the plane and I didn't have coffee for breakfast. So today was an off day.


 


Since I didn't have coffee I have had this migraine, head ache thing that really hurts. Like everyone can see it on my face because I just can't hide this much pain. I drank a Coke Light at dinner but it didn't really help. I think I became addicted to coffee/caffeine while I was here when I tried so hard in the last couple of years to not depend on caffeine as much. When I get home I will go back to working on not drinking so much caffeine. Which means more migraines/ head aches to come...
