» Last few days in Buenos Aires
Hola! These last few days have been much better. Only a couple of new mosquito bites and a much better hostel! Although the accommodations aren't much better, the place seems to be mosquito free and is in walking distance to everything! Over the last f

» The Beginning: Buenos Aires
So I finally got tech savvy and figured out this blog thing! Much easier than emails. Hopefully I will figure out how to add pictures and video as well. DAY 1 This is my first blog post and I am writing this on day 3 (Sunday March 7th) in Buenos Air

» The Hanging Glaciers of Mt. Tronador
After crossing the Chile-Argentine border for the eighth time, we returned once more to Bariloche and began preparing for our fourth and final multi-day Patagonian trek: the Paso de las Nubes (roughly: ‘Cloud Pass’), which we turned from a two-day t

» The Nahuel Huapi Traverse
We suffered a bit of a post-Antarctica funk for a few days while in Ushuaia and making the long journey back north (three buses, two pointless border crossings and 50 hours later, and we still hadn’t made it out of Patagonia!). But finally we arrived

» Tierra del Fuego: the end of the world
A few days ago we took an all-day bus from Puerto Natales south to the end of mainland South America, across the Straits of Magellan (via a car-ferry), into the Tierra del Fuego, back over the Argentina border, and ultimately to Ushuaia, the world’s s

» Fitz Roy: Worth the Wait
We arrived in El Chaltén, the base for forays into the northern part of Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, with a reasonable weather forecast in hand and hopes for a five-day, four-night trek around the Mt. Fitz Roy area starting the following day. How qui

» Breaking News Which Isn't All That "Breaking": Lionel Messi Wins Ballon d'Or.
Was it really ever in doubt? All the big boys are reporting it, so it must be true. Lionel Messi, the Barcelona mastermind, is the Ballon ...

» Patagonia: Whales, Dinosaurs and an Incredible Glacier
Our first taste of Patagonia was not of the windswept mountain and glacial scenery that has made the region famous, but of a coastal area as close to Buenos Aires as to Parque Nacional los Glaciares. After a long bus trip from Córdoba we arrived in Pue

» Central Argentina: wine tours and Spanish classes
It’s been a while since my last post, mostly because we haven’t been anywhere in the past two weeks nearly as captivating as Valparaíso, and because I’ve been pretty busy this week taking Spanish classes in Córdoba, losing my credit card, trying

» Tevez to...retire??
Carlos Tevez might want some lessons on how not to upset his employers. He didn't go down that well at Manchester United toward the end ...

» Where Have All The Keepers Gone?
Robert Enke's death is a tragic one, without a doubt. In no way is the post meant to malign him, but I barely had heard ...

» Feeling Inspired?
I had a dream last night so vivid and unusual, I thought I'd share to get any thoughts. I was standing in a large park or preserve with my workmates from this past harvest. It was early in the morning, grey, overcast and misty; much like today. T

» Northwest Argentina: "don’t tie your horse in the plaza"
Fortunately, our travels in northwest Argentina in the past week have proved more successful than our previous foray into the northeast. The northwest is a charming, indigenous land a world away from the pace of Buenos Aires; to me it feels like a mixtu

» Suddenly: Argentina
The upheaval of the week after my last post seems distant now, but it was pretty chaotic at the time and I didn’t have a chance to post about it while it was happening. To cut a long story short, two weeks ago we tried and failed on a Monday to postpone
