(JH) Fuer die von euch die spanisch koennen... das sind nicht meine Worte. Die Uebersetzung ist: "Die Hure die dich geboren hat!" Wo habe ich das gehoert? Im Estadio Monumental beim Cup-Spiel von River Plate gegen Arsenal. Wie oft habe ich ... Read more >

Insomnia at 15,000ft

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 | By netsy19 | Views [1185]

Sleeping on planes seems to be something I am physically incapable of.  At this point, seeing as I had only gotten 10 hours of sleep in the last 3 nights (thanks to a chorus of snoring and 3am poker) I would think I could have slept anywhere. But no, ... Read more >

San Telmo Market

Headed to the San Telmo market this afternoon, while trying to avoid the prolific number of dog droppings, I noticed that all the side walks are different.  It appears that each store owner/building owner is responsible for the side walk in front of ... Read more >

Quit looking at my ass

Thu, 8 Nov 2007 | By netsy19 | Views [933]

Buenos Aires has trained me well.  The vendors in Peru and Bolivia would at least, at times recieve eye contact and perhaps a harsh "no gracias" when accosting me with postcards, gourds, jewerly and a plethora of lama related trinkets.  The ... Read more >

All I want is a bed
