I am in Cordoba now, it is a nice town, almost like a small Buenos Aries.
I realized that I needed to get a second Hepatitis B vaccination. I couldn´t get the second at home because I had been given the first to close to my departure.
When I went to get my shots in Calgary I had too book an appointment 3 weeks in advance and pay $170 for all of my shots. The hepatitis B was probably something like $20.
In Argentina it took me about an hour, mostly because I didn´t go to the right place at first. Then they gave me the shot for free!!! The nurse said it was covered by there public health system.
A bit of a slap in the face for the Canadian Health system...
Kent,
We are really impressed with this trip you are taking - it sounds absolutely marvelous. Actually I'm very jealous. Thoroughly enjoyed the mountain pictures, but the wine country sounds more like my speed.
We check your site every couple of days for the news and pictures - it's a great idea and I'm sure your Mom breathes a sigh of relief every time a new update comes in(it's what Moms do Kent).
Sorry about your picture loss, I'm sure you were pretty upset. We'll look forward to seeing the remaining ones in July at Michelle's wedding.
Do take care and we are hoping that you only required a Hep B shot and not another one.
Have a great time - you will have these memories
the rest of your life.
Uncle Brian and Auntie Jan
