After stressing about my first poorly planned border run and then recovering enough to remind myself that it would not be the end of the world if this was not the greatest day of my life, the big day arrived. Early wake up call. For the 8am ferry, Jeff and I had to be at […]
My First Border Run
I was not a big fan of Uruguay before I got there. This is partially Uruguay’s fault but also partially my own fault. The anal-retentive project manager in me who would normally plan any day trip well in advance with great attention to detail, especially one involving a border crossing and a ferry, apparently went […]
At Least I’m Alive
A friend told me that the news of the Buenos Aires airport being shut down due to an ash cloud had actually made the news in Columbus, Ohio. Since I am traveling, I am ignorant as to what news makes it back home. I have to admit I am even ignorant of what is going […]
Beautiful Palace + Wine + Delicious Pizza = A Regular Night in BA
You may be getting tired of hearing about my wine and pizza stories. But this one has something more. Add a beautiful palace, and now it’s a NEW story. (For the record, I do not drink wine and eat pizza every day. But when I do, I like to write about it.) I was hoping […]
Why I Will Not Go to a Soccer Game in Argentina
Well, the first reason is that I really don’t care that much. If you want to talk about futbol, the only type I know anything about is futbol Americano. Even then, only at the university level. And I have to admit that since I left the US, my desire to follow sports teams back home […]
Day Tripping: San Isidro
During the train ride on my day trip to Tigre, we passed several cute little towns. One of those towns is San Isidro. I was told that it is has cobblestone streets, a large cathedral, and a weekend crafts market. I was looking for some new scenery for photography inspiration and wanted to get away […]
I Finally Left Buenos Aires
I have finally left Buenos Aires. Well, not the province or even Greater Buenos Aires but what they call La Capital. Since I had to move into a hostel for a week between apartments, I decided that this would be my week of day trips. It was super easy. Hopped on a train for the […]
Saying Goodbye
When Cruella kicked me out, I moved into an apartment with Ayngelina. She is a travel blogger from Canada with whom I have been in contact for several months. I believe I first discovered her site Bacon is Magic when I was in Quito, Ecuador suffering miserable rain and cold and probably feeling a little […]
Happy Birthday To Me!
It is Winter in Buenos Aires. It does not snow, but it is quite cold. In order to survive, I had to go shopping. But this chica is on a budget and living out of a backpack. I wanted cheap and functional. I soon found out that this is not possible in Buenos Aires. The […]
On My Birthday: Remembering Younger Travels
Yea! It’s my birthday! Those of you who know me probably remember that I declare a full birthday week of celebration. But this year is special. This is the year I say goodbye to my 20s and enter a new decade. Or is that special? What is special for me this birthday is not really […]
