Vacation Flashback

It wasn't all political history and relaxation on vacation. I also met a new girlfriend. She even brought her kid to Amerika, the nightclub. This pic shows when she spilled her drink on my shoulder. I guess it is hard to hold a baby, smoke, drink, dance, and look longingly into my American eyes all at once.


I was a little shocked to find she was trying to cheat on her boyfriend with me, but then realized he was into it and posed for a photo. Yes, he is, mmm, a short person with an oxygen tank. Notice it didn't stop anyone from smoking, including him!


Fun Vacation Memories! Thanks to Oscar for sending these photos taken at some ungodly morning disco hour!

24 de Marzo 2009

I wasn't going to blog anything from vacation until I could post my journal or at least compile a representative set of pics. This, however, needed to be posted today! We intended to go to museums but found out it was a national holiday. We participated in our first South American protest! Timmy wanted me to smile, but I couldn't when we were protesting for information on 30,000 people missing since the 70s. There were a gagillion people, some very passionate, some very sad. While we were only spectators for the most part, it was a memorable experience for sure. When it can be put together, I also captured some pretty amazing video. It is still going on, but we are now resting at the hotel. I stopped for a litre of Smirnoff, two bottles of wine, and a soda from the little store on the corner (less than $20 US total!) It's gonna be a fun night!

Buenos Aires Bound!

Layover was painless and we have boarded the plane; next stop is Argentina in 9 hrs 24 mins! We'll try to periodically confirm we're alive. Thanks to Tasty T for house sitting - hope parties at our place aren't more fun without us. You know where we keep the booze!
