In conclusion I guess the purpose of this post is to encourage you, if you are going to get a dog, to consider rescuing one for they can be sweet and saved.

A post dedicated to the homeless dogs of Argentina.
My journey has ended and I have adjusted back to life here in the States. I recently talked to Sofia's mother and I felt that my understanding of what she was saying in Spanish had improved. I really need to keep practicing and maybe take a class. Though my journey is finished until next time I wanted to make one final post of some of the homeless dogs I saw in the cities of Argentina. These dogs seemed really nice and I was sad to seem them without homes however it was inspiring to see how they survived and often still seemed happy.
In conclusion I guess the purpose of this post is to encourage you, if you are going to get a dog, to consider rescuing one for they can be sweet and saved.

A journey back
11/2
I sit in the airport waiting for my flight to leaving from Cordoba. I already said my goodbyes to Sofia. It was hard. For a minute I thought I wasn't going to be able to hold myself together. Something about the idea of one second being together and the next not overwhelms me. The only thing that kept me together was the idea that she is only one plane ticket away and that traveling is not that hard in reality. I have learned a lot this trip not only able Argentina and it's culture but about the US and what it means to live there. Although I wouldn't mind living here I would have to learn Spanish and I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in the US where opportunity feels so abundant. I have really learned a lot from Sofia as well. This trip has made me really want to go get my masters and specialize in something. I think I know what too. I want to be a sound engineer which will complement my songwriting and love for music. Life is too precious not to try to take something to the top and education is not the only way to get there but the most recognized and stable. I am definitely going back to school. As a 22 year old it's hard for me to imagine that I have already met someone who I would spend my life with just because I am not really in that stage like she is. I am still positive and think that we can make it work. I definitely care about her a lot and I think that her and I make a good pare. As of right now I am excited to be back in familiar territory and praying that all my flights go safely and my baggage goes through. The 2 days before me departure I rented a car which alowed Sofia and I to go explore a town that was pretty far away that would have been unpractical to go by bus. Driving on the roads was pretty crazy but also very much the same. The km/per hour speed gage was interesting and hard to get used too. Driving out in the country side was very much the same as in the USA but in the city with very few signs, no marked designated lanes, almost no stop signs, big buses, aggressive taxi's made me nervous. I fared okay though and avoided any real close calls.
ps. My bags made it though as well as all of my fragile gifts undamaged.
