29 Jan 2018 (Tigre, Buenos Aires, Argentina): We’re on a boat! The delta above BA is really big and a little reminiscent of water-communities everywhere. There are locals and vacationers, fancy speed boats and little kayaks, delicious and depressing-looking restaurants, etc. Aside from just being a lovely day, I would have found it to be […]

Day 25
30 Jan 2018 (Buenos Aires, Argentina): I believe I previously stated that Argentina doesn’t fuck around when it comes to meat. Well, we have a bit of a dinner tonight.

We were both feeling shlumpy from eating too much restaurant food and drinking too much wine (and feeling ridiculous about feeling bad from that), and we spent all morning walking in the hot sun to […]
