I'll make this short and sweet.
Maya and I are heading to Buenos Aires tomorrow morning on the 10:05 Flecha Bus. We are planning on getting into Baires around 5ish, getting a good night's sleep, and flying down to Ushuaia tomorrow afternoon. We will meet up with my buddy, Andrew, in BA to retrieve my rain pants (a must in Ushuaia), and hopefully explore the town a bit (Maya has not had the opportunity to give the town a look over). Tomorrow morning we will meet up with a former Golo intern, Flur, who is kind enough to hold onto some of our gear while we are down south. We will not be performing all the normal Golo protocols in Ushuaia, nor will we be needing all the clothes we have used in Santa Fe (por ejemplo, short sleeved shirts and pants, bathing suit, etc.), which help relieve of us 3 suitcases. We will then rendezvous with Dan Ardia, a PI for the Golo project and Maya's former professor at Franklin and Marshall, and his current student, Taylor X (no, she is not Malcolm's daughter; I just don't know her name). Then off to Ushuaia!
We've been practicing our Ushuaia dances for when we first step off the plane, but I anticipate that we will be so in awe of the beauty that we may forget our steps. We will surely miss Santa Fe, our beautiful field site, and the friends we made, but we are ready for a change of scenery. Our site gave us a pleasant goodbye today in the form of two Southern Screamers and a Sayaca Tanager, only my second look for both species. Now it is time to say goodbye.
PEACE SANTA FE! Keep it real
