Sleepy Sunday

With the possible exception of Buenos Aires, Argentina shuts down on Sundays. Not only is almost everything closed, but you see very few people walking around and even sginficantly less traffic. This makes it difficult to get much done, such as doing laundry, buying bus tickets, etc. Being in a small town like Rio Grande on a Sunday only exacerbates things. The only things open appear to be the supermarket, a small internet place, and the local cinema. I´m considering seeing of the offerings there tonight, though both look equally uninspiring. It´s either ¨A Night at the Museum¨ or ¨The holiday¨. I have learned through the years that part of the fun of seening movies oversees is you almost inevitably end up watching movies you would never bother seeing at home. Going into the theater with this attitude can make even the worst of flicks somewhat managable, if not downright enjoyable. If all the buses are sold out to Punta Arenas, Chile tomorrow, I will attempt my first extended hitchhike of the trip. Wish me luck!
