Adam and I arrived in Bariloche today and wow is it beautiful!

I am typing on the hostel's keyboard and it is very difficult and everything is in German. Hopefully I can persevere and provide you with some quality content regardless.
I woke up early, ate breakfast, and packed up some last minute things. We had to leave extra early for the airport because the G20 Summit is in Buenos Aires this year and wreaking havoc. We ended up getting to the airport over 3 hours early, but that's better than missing our flight!
The flight was alright despite the moment where I grabbed the arm of the woman next to me out of terror. She was cool with it though. We took the bus to the city center and luckily we can use our Buenos Aires subway card here for the buses!

We checked in at the hostel and played with the cutest baby ever. Omg so precious.
After that, we relaxed for a while, talked to our Brazilian hostel roommate (who enjoyed talking a little too much), and then made plans for the rest of our trip. Lots to look forward to!
Since I can't force Cassie to run with me anymore, I forced Adam to run with me. He would agree it was worth it though because the views were unreal. The water was so blue and the mountains were snow-capped and the sky was so blue. Plus the air felt ten times fresher than the Buenos Aires city air.
Naturally the photos do this place no justice. We stopped multiple times on the run to admire a new view and I've truly never seen anything like Bariloche. Please enjoy these self-timed photos we took.
When we finished running, we walked around a bit and went to various "excursions" places to inquire about trips. We found one that was 1,000 pesos cheaper than all other options... booyah.
OMG computer is dying I gotta go. I will be brief. We then ate community dinner with our hostel and it was great.

I can't post any more on this trip so talk to you in a few days!
