day 15 - january 12th, 2009
so — this was originally the day we were supposed to go home. we booked another hotel in buenos aires while we try to jump on standby flights to get home somehow. i have never done standby with luggage before, so i don’t know that it’s actually possible or not. [...]
day 14 - january 11th, 2009
slept in as much as our hotel would allow — check out times here are 10am, not 11 like i am used to. that said, since we had our travel schedule mishap, we had to book another hotel in calafate while we waited for our departure on the 12th.

after a pretty late start today, we made it back into to shibuya finish up some shopping needs. everyone told us we were crazy to go into town on a sunday — they were right. it`s impossible to navigate shibuya with a stroller and a two year old. [...]
