Day 29

3 Feb 2018 (Buenos Aires, Argentina): Today was kind of a shitty day, truly the first of the whole trip.

2 Feb 2018 (Buenos Aires, Argentina): It’s hot out there, and we duck into an ice cream shop for some afternoon helado.

31 Jan 2018 (Buenos Aires, Argentina): Leah and I go for a long walk today and discuss things like balconies. It seems like an enormous percentage of the apartments in this city have a lovely, small amount of outdoor space. There’s a good chance we’re only walking through the nice parts of town, but still […]
