After coming back from Switzerland I (unexpectedly) had two weeks without any particular goal. The bad weather conditions that forced me to discontinue my hike lasted for at least one more week after I left. So in the end it was the best decision to leave.
During the two weeks "spare time" I visited a couple of friends and caught up with some administrative work I should have done a long while ago: taxes! I gathered the missing stuff for 2012 taxes, I prepared the 2013 taxes, I went through and sorted lots of documents, letters, invoices, I cancelled a couple of contracts for services I haven't used in a long time, had a look at my budget and the overall financial situation...
Now I am on my way to Argentina again. And I am very much looking forward to it.
The things I am looking forward to are:
First and foremost Pau y La Gina
Being with lots of warm-hearted people
Meeting friends
Empanadas y Malbec on the balcony
Bon-o-bons, Chipas o Criollos with my Mate
Running in the parque
Being with lots of people who don't give a shit about traffic lights and who are crossing the street, whenever they like
Proper avocados
The things I am particularly not looking forward to:
Buying cheese and ham that comes in slices about two layers of atoms thick (yes, you can read the newspaper through these slices)
Complete denial of the existence of non-flavoured yoghurt and curd
Not being able to properly speak the local language
Having to think about security issues every time I open the apartment door
