Atlanta, GA - Not exactly South America, but still south!

So due to the awesome freak snow storm that shut down the city of Spokane yesterday, my flight was delayed 3 hours to Minneapolis, which caused me to miss my flight to Atlanta, which caused me to miss my flight to Buenos Aires. I got a later flight to Atlanta, and that is where I am currently. I had to stay the night in a Hotel here, and due to the fact that Delta only runs one flight to Argentina a day, I have to wait until 7:50pm tonight to catch the next flight (that's East coast USA time). I have 4 meal vouchers! So I'm headed to hang out at the Giant, Art exhibit like Airport today.... Also, something curious I noticed about the Atlanta Airport. There are more signs in Spanish than in English, I only realized this when I was following the signs that said "Reclamo de equipaje" all the way to exit the airport. These signs didn't even have an English translation underneath (or above). Yes of course there were signs in English saying the same thing, but they weren't as common, and they weren't on the same sign, and now in my room, I have Univision turned on and it was the local news in Spanish... who knew that Atlanta was such a Latino city? haha

Anyways, next check in: Buenos Aires, Argentina!

I talked to you right before you were boarding the plane in Atlanta I think around 4 or 5 so I know you have a long flight ahead but at least you will be landing at your destination. Talk to you soon.
