Bariloche, Argentina

I make it to Bariloche right in time for Passover. The 30-some hour bus from El Chalten arrives at 6 a.m. the morning of the Passover Seder. I walk over the Chabad house and go through the necessary security paperwork so that I can attend the Seder that night.

The Seder itself is insane. There are 500+ Israeli backpackers crammed into a gym. The wine and matza are flowing. And every Israeli seems to someone how know everyone else from South America, the army, high school, etc. Even my cousin Adi in Israel said she knew people at that Seder. The whole Israeli backpacker in South America is a blog entry in itself that hopefully I’ll get to.
