Birthday Madness

This is it. My last day in South America. It´s also my birthday. I think it´s appropriate that my last day here is my birthday. 25 was a really, really good year for me. Best ever.

I can´t believe it´s over, but I know it´s time. The other day I took a picture of myself in front of the Casa Rosada, and when I looked at it, I couldn´t believe how tired I looked.

But first, there is fun to be had. I´m so glad Maribeth was able to meet up with me here in BA. We´ve had a super fun and exciting past couple of days- year, really. She´s been busy telling everyone else here at the hostel that it´s my birthday, so I think we´ll have some good company tonight. The next 48 hours will be crazy. Here´s the rundown.

• Museums, since Wednesday is free admission day
• Shopping
• Steak dinner
• Tango show
• Staying awake until it´s time to go to the airport, which will be around 3:30 in the morning- an early evening in this town
• Flying from Buenos Aires to Lima
• Flying from Lima to San Jose, Costa Rica
• Spending a whopping 6 hours in San Jose
• Flying from San Jose to JFK in New York
• Arriving in NYC at 2:30am
• Taking a taxi to Alison´s apartment in Brooklyn, where she has so wonderfully agreed to let me crash. Thanks bunches, and to Sajan too.
• Killing time in NYC- not too hard to do
• Driving back to Mill Hall Friday night
  

Whew. I think I´m too old for this.
