Whoa. Today is day one...or dia uno. Left the relative safety and security of Manhattan yesterday and today I am tucked into a funky hostel in Palermo, Buenos Aires. It was a long trip, but thankfully relatively uneventful. Once I found my hostel I went for a quick walk and out of the blue I ran into a completely gluten free bakery. I was blown away! I only had a few pesos, but I purchased and quickly devoured a beautiful dulce de leche filled cookie and it was wonderful. Did some more walking, paid an outrageous price to withdraw money and finished the day with an awesome veggie filled salad. Overall a yummy day :) Tomorrow will hopefully be filled with a few wee adventures, a new coat/sweater (who knew it would be cold?) and an electricity converter. Now it is time for bed...buenos noches mi amigos!

Today I am grateful for helpful strangers at airports
