Snow!!

I saw snow! It was raining, then it started snowing, and it was amazing! I got to El Calafate yesterday about 10am. Uneventful flight, managed to find people to share the 50 peso cab ride from the airport into Calafate. Met Kat at the hostel! It was ... Read more >

Fanta or Fanta

Mon, 7 Apr 2008 | By bagen | Views [1363]

So two and a half months in we feel like maybe we´re making a teeny bit of headway with this whole Español language thang.  Maybe.  Certainly the vocab is slowly increasing... but we´re doing a fine job of butchering any structure or grammar that might ... Read more >

The Gaucho experience

Sun, 6 Apr 2008 | By luchinko | Views [2012]

Wow, and wow. I loved it, but there were many bad bits as well. Firstly, the good. Riding is amazing. I went out with the gauchos 5 times (5!!!), riding the fields, slashing through tall grass, herding cows, making my cow herding noises. You have ... Read more >

After my experience in Viedma, which probably wouldn´t have been so bad if I hadn´t had steady company for a little while, I went to Puerto Madryn to check out the sea lions and penguins!  The day I got to my hostel, I met a german girl who was going ... Read more >

Sad...

Fri, 4 Apr 2008 | By courta104 | Views [467]

Now, don´t get me wrong... I really enjoy going off the beaten track a little and experiencing things that other people don´t, but I was sad after Jeff left.  I was all by myself again and leaving everything somewhat familiar all over again and I didn´t ... Read more >

Aan de kust, in de wolken

Na twee weken vakantie in Uruguay en Argentinie, ben ik onderhand alweer "hard" aan het werk. Zo was ik dinsdag het binnenland ingesukkeld om een interview af te nemen en de beste pizza van Fray Marcos te eten. De doktor had de ochtend vrijgenomen ... Read more >

Mendoza with a short stop in Santiago

Thu, 3 Apr 2008 | By courta104 | Views [543] | Comments [1]

Monday, March 17th, we had a flight from Buenos Aires to Mendoza.  For some really strange reason, there are no direct flights from Buenos Aires to Mendoza, so we had to fly to Santiago first.  We arrived in Santiago and had plenty of time before our ... Read more >

Stressed Out

Tue, 1 Apr 2008 | By gringura | Views [893]

I’ve had a couple of minor freak out moments.   Number one: I almost got kidnapped by a taxi driver.   I was coming home from my class about AIDS at 9 pm.   The class is in a pretty rough area of the city and I had to walk about three blocks to ... Read more >
