logistics.

my last day in b.a. before hitting the road again was full of logistics & tea. i had a leisurely morning, dropped off my laundry to be done, & began organization for the rest of the trip. once we left b.a. we would not be back until my departure so i basically had to bring everything with me. i allowed myself a pleasant lunch out while philip & his mom did errands around town. i went to this jazzy little tea restaurant that give you hour glass timers so you can steep your tea for the exact appropriate amount of time. it was delicious & a nice treat. after several pots of tea & numerous chapters in my book, i took leave of the tea connection. that evening we were taking an overnight bus from b.a. to the cordoba province, the central part of argentina, for a week's stay at a cabin philip's mother had rented. with everything packed we made our way to the station & hit the road for an 11 hour ride. the transportation in argentina is unbelievably inexpensive & wonderfully comfortable. i had a seat that reclined almost completely, with a full leg rest; they served dinner that evening and breakfast the next morning & i slept like a baby all the way there.
