Chile Travel Report My Hosts |
|
|
The great majority of my time in Chile was spent in
hostels, and I was quite fortunate in finding some of the finest hostels
I've ever been in.
In the beginning of this travel report I mentioned that my time in Argentina was largely uneventful--with two exceptions. The two exceptions were 1) the hostel I stayed at in Buenos Aires, Extremo Sur, and 2) two of its guests, Mauricio and Aline, whom I came to know and love, and with whom I attended a milonga (a tango dance event.) I have since corresponded with Mauricio. |

hostel is lovely
