Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia

This city of about 120,000 is has a very warm, pedestrian friendly feel.  The downtown in centered around a main plaza and surrounding plazas within walking distance.  There are a few pedestrian-only streets filled with over hanging trees and many cafes with outdoor seating - perfect for spending a couple hours conversing with others, enjoying some coffee, etc.

A dog’s life in Argentina, Chile, and Brazil is very different from a dog’s life in the United States.  While observing dogs in Argentina, Chile, and Brazil I noticed that they have a lot more freedom than dogs in the United States.  I think the greater freedom has had a positive impact on the dogs and how they interact with humans.  Stray dogs and owned dogs alike seem to have very good relationships with people.  Most dogs have no need to be put on a leash becau...

Health care is something that consumes everyone’s life because at one point or another everyone has had to see a doctor or visited a loved one in the hospital.  Health care is not the same across the globe and every health care system has its problems.  It is not about which country has the most efficient health care system according to the statistics, it is about which health care system works best for the people.  Argentina and the United States have very different h...
