The trip begins!

Greetings from Argentina!! We arrived safely on Sunday morning. Now that I´m here I can finally disclose the real reason we chose Argentina -- Mark can now get cheap surgery to replace the missing hair from his bald spot to reclaim his youth (see picture). I was questioning whether I was welcome here when I got nailed by bird poo during the 6 block walk from the bus stop to the hostel, but things only got better from there. 4 out of eight people in the room were still sleeping at noon when we checked in, apparently they have quite the Saturday nights in this neighborhood. The locals are unusually friendly here, and I spent Sunday walking through an art festivl in the neighborhood (San Telmo in Buienos Aires). My Spanish is as malo as ever, if that changes I will let you know.
