my other limo

Muni at night.

The 13-hour ride from Buenos Aires to Mendoza is supposedly most likely the Midwest. I slept for most of it, thank goodness.



I do love the drive-by scenery of the Midwest. It begs for a different kind of photography of scale.

best bus meal ever

I've never been served a meal on a bus, and wasn't expecting to get served on Saturday. But I splurged for a bed-suite situation on the 13-hour overnight bus to Mendoza, and they served us dinner right after boarding. Here was the base for it. Don't ask me why there's an American flag on it.



Then they brought by the hot-food portion of the meal, which was matambre, slices from what I imagine was a giant, chicken-and-pork sausage infused with peppers, hard-boiled eggs and the like. After the meal there was coffee or mate, little desserts, and then they came around with a tray of (real) glasses, ice cubes, and a bottle of whiskey.

I am never flying anywhere ever again.

start: bus

I just got back from a little adventure. It started at the Retiro bus station here in Buenos Aires, where I got a nice window seat upstairs on a two-tiered bus.



The comfort and location of the seat is important when taking on a 13-hour bus ride.

The colectivos (buses) here are crazy. You never know what you're going to get. Last night both my buses were illuminated by dim blue lights on the inside, giving them a very lounge-y feel. Sometimes the buses have disco balls in them, like when they go off- duty they'll become party buses.



This was definitely the most Playboy bunny logos I've seen on a bus so far. I'm not sure what's up with that Number 9.
