Now that I am home and rested a bit, I wanted to go back and wrap up my time in Buenos Aires. As I wrote in my previous blog, I had a bit of a melt down at being back in the crowded city. It was oppressively hot and humid when I arrived in BA. My hotel was in San Telmo area, an old section of the city with a lot of history. Unfortunately, they did not have an adapter for my electrical devices. The... Read Full Entry

Well, through good timing and lots of luck, I am about to hit the skies again. It has been far too long since my last journey. As much as I love going to visit my family each year, the act of heading to the airport and climbing on a plane to the homeland lacks the edge, excitement and the element of the unknown that a trip abroad brings. As with the rest of the world, my life shifted and changed through the pandemic; however, it is time to set free Brenno, the traveler lurking just beneath my daily home persona.

hi from Argentina
I am glad to know you enjoyed Argentina. There is a lot more to see, of course. Leave it for a second time... What you ate are "empanadas", something we like so much, filled with minced meat, corn, chicken, fish, whatever comes to your mind. Each province has its typical empanada. Food is great in Argentina, not the best in the world, but great. Hugs. Graciela.

Thank you Graciela, I am glad that you followed along with my blog. I am now a huge fan of those empanadas. Well heck, I am a huge fan of your country. I am very excited to come back and see more. And again, thanks. B

Peru wines
Hello! Just been reading through your blog. Since your next trip is Peru, & you mentioned that you like trying wines while travelling, I'd definitely recommend spending a couple of days in Ica - the wine capital of Peru. You can get fantastic tours of a few local bodegas that produce Peruvian wines, and dozens of places that produce pisco brandy just outside town. They all do tastings as well. Personally, the wines weren't quite to my taste (Peruvians like their food & drink eye-wateringly sweet!) but it was a great experience and well worth doing. Best of luck with your trip, Richard

It's Great to Hear from You
Hi Richard, Thanks for the recommendation. I am wavering on whether to go to Ica, but this helps the decision. I hope you are having a great trip. Look forward to reading about it when you have a chance to blog. Brendan

Hello Kari
That is Buque Museo Fragata Presidente Sarmiento. It is a ship museum by the Woman's Bridge in Puetro Madero in Buenos Aires. It was a fun little tour. If you are heading to BA, I hope you can check it out.
