For some reason, milk in BA is only sold in 1 liter containers. It either comes in a bag or a box and may or may not be refrigerated. I haven´t had any problems, but this stuff only has a shelf life of 2-3 days, so that means a lot of trips to the Norte [...]
Buenos Aires is infamous for piles of dog poo on the sidewalks everywhere. But I´m fascinated by these dogwalkers! Some of them walk 10-12 dogs at the same time.

It was just your [...]

A group of us went to group tango lessons in Palermo Viejo last night. That was a waste of time! Every 3 steps we bumped into someone because it was so crowded. I was excited about the prospect of learning tango, but it looks like private lessons will be the best option.
There were about [...]

23 Oct 2006Saturday morning I went with my friend to the Mormon Temple in BA to pick up some of his things that were dropped off by friends from back home. We took a long, hot, uncomfortable bus ride for about an hour and fifteen minutes and arrived about noon. The propety was a beautiful, tranquil setting [...]

23 Oct 2006Friday night I met up with J.D. so he could help me overcome the language barrier at the Apple Store. My first Mac and it crapped out after 2 months! Hopefully I´ll have it back Thursday. Ojala! I´ll be able to post pictures again when I get it back.
After that, I went to Rey de [...]
