Last Days of Argentina

Im here in Buenos Aires having a blast. Adam and I are going to work
on a quick video for Nick, our leader, to show to sponsors. The cars
are on the boat and now Im free to do whatever I want,so, Im going to
brazil. I figure a month there should definately calm things down a
bit. Since I am an american, it is costing me 110 dollars to get into
brazil, but i think it will be worth it. Also, I ran out of pages in
my passport, so I had to get some new ones at the US embassy before I
could get my Brazillian visa, but now that is all taken care of and I
am basically free. Tonight the team goes to a tango performance and
then all I have to do is finish that promo video, and then I'm free!

Notes: Today we all did our own thing, including a lot of work. This evening, Nick and Chanda treated everybody to an amazing night out at the famous Senor Tango, a dinner and tango show in an old converted fire station. It was an amazing show. The dancing, the music, the accordion playing...it was phenomenal. Thank you, thank you, Nick and Chanda, for a night we will never forget. The evening served as a sort of end-of-the-first-third-of-our-journey celebration. It was also a sort of farewell, as we will all be going to the winds soon while our vehicles make their way to Australia. After Senor Tango, we all went out and did some salsa dancing. (N.O.)
