to the argentinian side of the falls i got in a tiny group organised by the hostel (we bought all the tickets in the hostel and saved a bit of money that way!), we had a very cool driver and were packed in one of those old vw buses, you see everywhere in brasil! there wasen't even a long jam on…

After several days of hording coins for the bus I had finally accumulated enough to take one today. Rather than go through the effort of figuring out which bus to take to a specific destination, I decided to let the bus be the destination. I went to the bus stop and hopped on the first bus that pas…

El  Calafate is a small but very touristy town which is only 80km from the very famous Moreno Glacier (which was the main reason for crossing into Argentina at this point). The glacier was very cool (no pun intended), we went on a hike on the ice (wth ´´cramp-ons´´ attached to boots to a…

Very cold in Bariloche!

I am down at the end of the earth in Patagonia and it is amazing, magnificent, powerful, astounding, stunning, beautiful, inspiring..... ok, i think i'm gushing. and in need of a thesaurus to go any further there. But the area would be my favourite place so far. I visited the penguins f…

Buenos Aires - Perito Moreno - Mendoza

Once the bar exam was done, I ventured to Argentina and other parts unknown. My buddy Larry Motts flew in from L.A. and the real adventure began.

I caught a flight to a long-desired destination: Buenos Aires! continued to Uruguay, Chile and Peru from there.

For me college has been a love-hate relationship. I love to learn new things, visit new places, and start new projects; I hate paying for my new things, my new places, and my new projects. It has always been a struggle at the beginning of a new semester to find that extra hundred or so dollars that…

2006 trip for a month to do some research and of course, to travel.

On arriving back in Argentina the heat immediately hits us again.  We learn that it is around 42 degrees Celcius and thankfully have the roof top room this time with it's own shower and toilet.  Do our last bundle of washing in the sink and go out for dinner.  While looking for a par…

I decided to celebrate America's Independence Day in Argentina.  I know that I definitely take my independence for granted.  Many of my Argentine friends could only dream of being able to travel as freely as I do.  The thought of being told that I am not allowed to …

One of the first desserts in Buenos Aires was a chocolate cookie filled with ¨dulce de leche¨. I am one of the "sweetest" people I know (HA!), that is in the sense that I really love desserts. I get this wonderful trait from my father, who always has to finish his meal off on a sweet note. Anyway…
