Buenos Aires Travel Blogs

Background: Following independence from Spain in 1816, Argentina experienced periods of internal political conflict between conservatives and liberals and between civilian and military factions. After World War II, a long period of Peronist authoritarian rule and interference in subsequent governments was followed by a military junta that took power in 1976. Democracy returned in 1983, and numerous elections since then have underscored Argentina's progress in democratic consolidation.

Hey kids, Have you ever been to a Buenos Aires McDonalds? Well, I have. I had some dinner plans fall through the other night so I made an unplanned stop there. Didnīt think I would ever need to go but most quick places around here close by 9. I was glad I went because I discovered they have McInternet. Iīm not quite sure what that is. I ate something that was called a McNifica. It was McDelicious. After that I went to a birthday party at UniClub. It took me back, way back. Before Billy Idol crashed his motorcycle. Before Madonna [View Full Entry]

Corrientes at Night
Ooops

As the title suggests we saw a bit more of Buenos Aires before we left. We visited San Telmo which is a sweet little district filled with markets and street entertainers. The best of these were the tango dancers ranging from the young and sexy to the old and not so much. Chrissie felt she could no longer resist the shopping any longer and so we bought some pictures. I am very proud she lasted so long. By the time we left, it was safe for us to go on to La Boca as the 80,000 odd football fans were in [View Full Entry]

Hola Amigos, Itīs been great to hear from everyone. Iīll try to keep the pictures coming but uploading takes a LONG, long time. So this is what you get today. Explored San Telmo a couple days ago. It was pretty nice - somehow it felt like home to me. Lots of creaky old buildings and artsy things for sale. The DIY kids are in full force down there. San Telmo is known for tango shows and there are lots of hostels down there. Itīs very tourist friendly and yes, again someone asked me for directions. Happened to get sucked in by [View Full Entry]

Que Tal? Hi Kids! Iīm here in Buenos Aires. I havenīt done much except lots of walking and meeting people. This city is very interesting… I could probably say a lot but Iīll just stick to the key points. These are: what are people wearing, doing, graffiti-ing, and eating. Oh, flights were good - unremarkable. Saw Ironman on the plane and finally realized how hot Robert Downey Jr. is. Maybe I finally got past that scene in Less Than Zero… Eating: So far Iīve had a couple opportunities to eat Parrilla, the traditional Argentine bbq. Itīs pretty good. My host, Dieg [View Full Entry]

Sat 13th After spending all morning trying our best to get over jet-lag, we made our way to the English meeting in B.A. Only about 50 publishers, with the speaker coming from Dallas, TX. We met a kiwi who was on the same flight as us too, how’s that? They have visitors from everywhere all the time. It was good to understand what’s going on and to participate. You really appreciate how hard it is for the local bro who does the WT in English but you can see would prefer to speak in Spanish, for us guys who are too [View Full Entry]

SQUEEZED IN

Oh boy…school starts today. And at such a reasonable hour. My first class is at 11:30. Kazuko does not have her class til 2PM today. Somebody turn off that stinking alarm clock and let me go back to sleep. Coughing still a all night problem. Lets see…learn everybody’s name and draw a picture of the world. I failed miserably on both counts. Geographie one is harder than I thought. I forgot Australia completely. I guess I better read up. And no one would play with me at recess. It has to get better. I am sitting in on Kazuko’s movie class. [View Full Entry]
