It´s a bit discouraging to see that Vancouver is still stuck at 3 degrees, and Sunday in Toronto will be between -10 and -14. Brrrrrr. I am now in Rosario, on yet another sunny warm day - about 30 or so. Very pleasant, livable city of about 1 or ... Read more >

Cataratas...Spanish for waterfalls. The Iguazú falls really are amazing, and the travel guides are correct...see the Argentina side one day and the Brazil side another day, as they are completely different experiences. Both are magnificent, though.... Read more >

Just a quick E mail to kill some time while I wait to go on my 22 hour bus ride to Iguazu falls. Any of you who have had the pleasure of doing a bus trip with me know how much I´m looking forward to this. I´ve got the pills and the armbands and feel ... Read more >

And after a long bus ride, yet another amazing place. I´m starting to sense a pattern here...every time I think OK, this is enough, it can´t possibly get any better, sure as hell it does. Starting with a minor irritation, though, AndesMar, the long ... Read more >

Well not really, but close. On the way back from Cachi (truly an amazing journey, in and of itself), about 30 kms from Salta, some rain earlier in the day replaced the road with 3 metres of river. The semi trailer truck stuck in the middle of it didn´t ... Read more >

I´ve been sucking on coca leaves for the past two days. Illegal apparently, which makes all the store signs indicating Coca for sale, along with a helpful leaf to distinguish it from Coca Cola, somewhat confusing. But I´ve not hit bottom, and I´m ... Read more >

Wow. So I am now into week 4. Never really thought about it that way until I wrote it. Hmmmm. In any case...16.5 hours by AndesMar ´cama´bus delivered me from Mendoza to Salta, at about 25% of the cost that I spent to fly from BsAs to Mendoza. ... Read more >

The last night in Mendoza, I was fairly determined to stay out late like the locals. While most of my classmates had taken off for their next adventures, about 10 of us still at the Institute had asked the staff there if we could have a little bbq Friday ... Read more >

Funny...I´m just writing a little wrap up on Mendoza, and realized I completely forgot to write about the tours last weekend! Saturday was a tour into the mountains to the border with Chile and back, and was amazing. We left Mendoza early (I was picked ... Read more >
