yo,
i am pathetic at this blog thing, so this will be my last one if anyone is still checking. This is good timing considering crumbs is back iƱ seatown and i am getting ready to leave South America in two days. i last left off in Buenos Aires right before Iguazu falls(IF). IF is this massive waterfall that splits Brazil and Argentina. Crumbs posted pics on facebook if you are interested. it was pretty spectacular for both of us and well worth the 20 hour bus ride. the whole thing can be done in about six hours seeing all the different parts. the whole park is filled with gorgeous scenery to compliment the waterfalls. we were also toying with the idea of sneaking into Brazil to do the Brazil side because we found out how to do it from a dude in Buenos Aires. the brazil side isn´t that good and we didn´t have much time, so we decided not to risk it.
crumbs went back to Seattle June 13th at which point i went down to Mar Del Plata to volunteer at the YWAM base. i have a friend doing the missionary school which is how i got plugged in. it was a good time of relaxing for me. A time to read some books and help get their yard cleaned up and painting done in the house. i was going to stay for the remainder of my time, but felt a week alone with God in Uruguay would be more beneficial. I just got back today and i am thankful i went. Uruguay is this tiny country mainly of coast line. My book has hardly any info on it which is also what intrigued me. it is similar to Argentina in a lot of ways, but more chilled out and relaxing. After a night in the capital i found myself in a little town on the altlantic coast called La Paloma. it was beach and forest, a nice combination. this town was shut down considering it is winter time, so i had some trouble finding a hostel. i walked around for an hour knocking on hostel doors with no answer. finally i talked with this guy on the street who had a friend with a hostel and he took me there. it was a nice little place but was colder inside than outside, which for me was difficult to take. my core temp was down most of the time which is torcher for me. a couple nights i went into the forest to gather wood for some indoor fires. I suck at starting fires, but the owners were there for some assistance.
i am back in Buenos Aires now for my last two nights. i fly out wednesday for Africa and will be back in the northwest mid august. i hope this post finds you all well. thank you for investing in the lives of both me and rumbles.
sun boys for life
