Listo

So I just uploaded my photos from Cordoba. They include our day trip to Alta Gracia where we saw Che´s house and also the really old Jesuit church which was beautiful. You can see that I learned a new camera trick from Dan. How to do color accents. Pretty nifty.
I actually left the hostel today! And am sitting at a nearby internet cafe researching hostels in Sydney. I think I might stay in one in the city center called Wake Up. Just for a few nights, and then take the train or bus up to Brisbane. I´m supposed to meet up with a French woman there who is also traveling alone. She found me through the helpx website we are both using to find workstays. So. We´ll see.
The other day, this guy who was staying at my hostel was chatting with me and we explained our travel histories. After learning my plans to travel around the world to random places, he asked if I was sad to be leaving BA soon. Nah, not really, I replied. You´re not very emotional are you?, he asked.
Strange thing to say I thought. Perhaps I do come off that way. Who knows? I tried to explain that it is hard to be sad about leaving one place when a new adventure awaits. Ok, he said. That makes sense.
After he left, I found myself wondering about different people´s travel philosophies and how they go about traveling. I think I am a little strange because not only have I chosen random countries across the world, but I´ve also left my months in each place completely open. I would be happy to do essentially not much of anything in each of these places. Just happy to be there I suppose. Don´t get me wrong, I´ve done my fair share of touristy outings here in BA. Especially when Jeni was here. But this last week....eh. Just walking around, finding a good cafe, taking some pictures, writing postcards, etc.
Speaking of which, its time to go and find some coffee.
