border crossin' fiend!
Not sure about that subject line...I just crossed one border and it wasn't fiendish at all.  I'm in Argentina now, first time ever!  After a bit of wandering around trying to find a cash machine I've parked myself at an HI hostel a bit out of town.  They have free internet.  Score!  (But laundry is 6 bucks...so it balances out.)

Yesterday's trip to the Brazillian side of Iguacu falls was pleasant and beautiful; everyone tells me that the Argentine side is way better, so I'm really looking forward to poking around tomorrow.  Right now I'm in the middle of trying to see how much money I can part with, and decide what I want to do.  A lot of folks told me I HAD to take a boat ride under the falls, but the trips are $25 (12 min) or $50 (an hour, with some side stuff).  That just seems a bit much.  Grumble.  I'm such a miser!

On a random travel note, I can't remember the last time I ate a real vegetable.  Probably Monday.  That's no good.  When I go grocery shopping I will be sure to mend that...but the kitchen is a little grungy here, so I'll have to think creatively.

Book selection at the exchange is looking slim.  There's a copy of Kissinger's Diplomacy, and a few other things caught my eye...the variety at these places is astounding...even if it's just bare bones it's fun to see what detritus has sifted through.  This would be the world without libraries.  Well, maybe not, but it makes me feel special and important to think that.  :-)
