So today Nicole and I left Valdivia early in the morning for Bariloche, Argentina! The bus ride was long and a surreal experience. The bus was full of people from the US! We could ease-drop and completely understand!
However, the cool feeling of being the special "las gringas" was gone. We were just more American tourists on a bus. I also stopped feeling tall, blond and white. It was nice while it lasted I guess.
We did make it safe across the boarder with out getting busted by immigration for the crabs I brought, so all was good. Crossing the Andes was also AMAZING! Sometimes you just need a huge mountain next to you to put the earth in perspective.
