Drinking From The Ganges

Eating my way through B.A…beef, beef and more beef!  So, I  have arrived as you can see!  I´ve been in the capital of Argentina for three days.  On my first day of arrival, I started with a steak for lunch and a steak for dinner (making up for 17 years of being a vegetarian)!  Argentina is known for some tasty beef.  All the beef is free-range and grass feed, which makes for some scrumptiously-delicious cows!  Argentines traditionally ´grill their meats on a BBQ.  On my second night in B.A. i went to an all you can eat buffet.  The buffet was a traditional ´mixed grill,´ which includes various grilled meats.  I had a plate of chorizo (spicy sausage), steak, ribs, small intestines, large intestines, and blood sausage. 

I also, visted ´Cementerio De La Recoleta,´in an area called Recoleta (one of the weathlist areas of B.A.).  The cemetary has some of the most extravagate crypts.  Most of the ´departed´where once the elite of Argentina-presidents, military heroes, politicians, etc.  One elite in particular who is buried in the cemetary is Eva Peron (Evita) and her husband. 

I have much more to write about, however i am off to a Tango Show.  I will write and upload pictures soon.  Until then….stay tune!

Coming up with places I would like to travel was relatively easy….EVERYWHERE! However, narrowing it down from EVERYWHERE to a more realistic itinerary based on time and money was the challenge. [read on]

I will provide details on how I have come to this juncture in my life. I will begin with a quote from my 1992 graduation yearbook- I wrote this under "Life Ambition": "To see the world that I've only begun to ... [Continue reading this entry]
