The kindness of strangers

I´ve mentioned before how friendly the argentine people are. They´ll bend over backwards for you to make sure you get what you need.

Something that happened yesterday really demonstrates this. Sarah and I were leaving the hostel, on our way down the street and a man was walking behind us. I stepped aside to let him pass and he said to me "Pardon me, the label" and pointed to the back of my shirt. Sure enough my smartwool tag was outside of my shirt. He stopped me to tell me, in english, my tag was showing. Amazing.
