Kyle's Arrival/first adventure

Kyle: I arrived safely in Buenos Aires, Argentina this morning!! The first thing i noticed is it's cold (somewhere in the 50's) but the sun is out and it's a pretty day. Danny, Danny's Uncle- Tio Jorge and I spent about two hours touring this beautiful city. We saw political buildings, financial companies, restaurants, and the stadium of Tio Jorge's favorite soccer team, Huracan. We then ate a delicious, but fast lunch (with Danny's parents) before racing to Puerto Madero to barely catch the 3:30 p.m. ferry to Montevideo, Uruguay...


Danny: We had to catch this ferry, our rental car that will be our mode of transport throughout the trip is meeting us at the port in Montevideo, so we had to make it. With time counting down I warned the ticket sales/boarding/security/immigration/gate personnel that I was traveling with a non-Spanish speaker and to walk him through quickly. Then the Coast Guard/Security accuses Kyle of having a knife...

Kyle: I had my first mini-scare when the security guards at immigration asked me if I had a knife in my bag. I said "no" and then they asked me to empty my bag. They said that a knife showed up on the computer screen. Even after I emptied my bag, they kept asking me if I had a knife and again I said "no". These few minutes of searching my bag almost cost us to miss the ferry and also scared the crap out of me!

Danny: Kyle and I just made it, they closed the doors seconds after Kyle got in. We are on our way to Montevideo to pickup the car and get to Rodrigo's apt to stay the night.
