Last Few Days











Yes Its been snowing




One of the other cool spots




























































Yesterday was prettty cool we went and checked out the Prison museam.This is basicly what lead to the creation of Ushuaia. Many prisoners were brought here away from other citizens. Slowly the city began to evolve and now theres over 50,ooo people living here.


This kid was in the Ushuaia Prison for killing many people he was only 8 years old when he first began to kill his main targets were babies and kids about 2-3 years old. He was cought many times but then got away. He killed about 12 people and later on he was sent to prison later released when he was 17 and killed again then was sent back to prison and was killed in prison by the convics. This kid even shoved cigarets in babies eyes.


Sorry nothing is in order this sight is sucking and its making me mad! any ways we get the point and the pictures are posted so woo!

The museam also had many exhibits of the ships trying to cross arround cape horn and Ushuaia Area and all the red dots are the ones who failed. This man was acused of killing all his family members and after he died he was proven inocent




















(This is the crazy kid)


At the top of the page is some of the picture of the 10mile hike we did in Tiera Del Feugo Park. It was amazing alot was through the forest and along the coast.

Amazing Ushuaia



Well I have arrived in Ushuaia and its verry amazing. We got in last night-afternoonish and ate at some a pretty upscale seafood place and had some verry good crab. We stayed at a hostal which was kinda crazy there were many crazy Brits who were just obnoctious not the kind of atmosphere and people we wanted to be arround. Today I lugged my backpack which does actually way 1/2 my body weight down the hill to our new hostal called(Yukish)which is 100x better and its right in town. A much better atmosphere great people who dont think they are better than every one. But does lack the crazy cat that doesnt climb all over the furniture or sleep on the book shelve, haha that was funny!! Today I mainly hung out and finished my year math class so thats a load of stress gone and lots of weight that I can through away. Also check out the town and views of this amazing place.

Buenos Aires Activities







We have done lots of sight seeing of Down Town Buenos Aires, its pretty amazing. Since our apartment was pretty far from the main downtown area we have been walking about 10ish miles on an average day. The first day we didn't do much at all but get caught up on time and just relax. Day2: Me and Aaron walked into Ricoleta which was quite far from our area but got to see lots more by walking. We saw the giant metal flower and went to the feria where I bought some pretty cool souvenirs. We even went to the cemitary where lots of famous dead people are kept including Eva Peron. They have amazing tombs which are very creepy, we even say one that was falling apart and had what it looked like to be a dead body inside. It seemed to be the hangout for cats as you will see in the pictures. They were all over the grave yard. Day 4ish: We also went to the zoo it was pretty awesome. Today we moved out of our apartment and into a hostel closer to town. The hostel so far is pretty nice. There is lots of people around and the staffs is nice to. Were staying right next to obelisk, im off to eat so I will post more of the trip later on. Speaking of food its been pretty damn good so far!!


Adios!!! Mike

Buenos Aires Week #1






So we officially arrived in Buenos Aires on the 18th at our apartment. It was pretty sweet kinda small but perfect for us 3. It even had a pool on the roof and not really another person in the complex except for some chick got the shit scared out of her when she didn't realize we were exiting the elevator. It was quite hilarious actually. And also little old Mrs.Blanca(white) she was very nice and would check up on us every once in a while. She even brought us a bean bag randomly and made sure Chico nino was there to sleep on it. Then she held her hand like a foot off the ground, so we went sure if she was going to bring a little boy to our room or something or if she just thought I was 5????
