you find when you come travelling that you tend to run into a lot of people who are doing more or less the same thing as you are. travelling the world. seeing the cultural centers. exploring ancient ruins. looking for a good time. from northern mexico down to patagonia, any city with a hot shower, cheap hostel and/or free breakfast is bound to have attracted some gringos for some reason or another.
