El Bolson, AR
Thursday, March 9th, 2006We just rolled into El Bolson, a former hippie enclave, so we hit the internet cafe. Not a detectably larger level of peace and love around here, at least no more than the ample quantity in other places. Actually, it is peaceful and the people are loverly, so here are some flowers, man.
Thank you to everyone for congratulations on my (Dan) job. I hope this employer is better than the one I had two jobs ago. Two of my ´bosses,´ who are brothers, who are both over forty years old, got into a knock-down, drag out fight that actually left a hole in the meeting room wall where they bashed into it. We´ll see how the new situation goes. Can it be worse? Peace out.
This is the view from a mountain we climbed. We cheated because the first few miles were in our truck. The last 50 fifty feet was all us, baby. Actually, it was more than 50 feet. It took a couple of hours to climb to the top.

Just a note- In case you can't tell, this is a love letter to Argentina. Sorry it may not translate well, but that is our intention. Please see our responses to comments at the end.

Be careful what you wish for. Or, being someone who used to teach grammar to international students, perhaps I should say, ¨Be careful for what you wish.¨ Maybe you have heard me whine about certain aspects of being an ESL teacher. (NB: such complaints were ... [Continue reading this entry]

Another spot full of scenic, breathtaking beauty. Ho hum.
We discovered that some of our photos from previous posts mysteriously disappeared, so we've put them back. Take a look at the posts from Arequipa, Chivay, and everything from Puno onwards. It's raining ... [Continue reading this entry]

San Martin de los Andes, AR
Sunday, March 5th, 2006
Hey, there might be a theme here with town names. As promised, it is located in the foothills of the Andes. It is a heck of a lot like Jackson Hole, WY here, except in Spanish, and fewer antler-arches; actually ... [Continue reading this entry]

We are starting to go through the Lake District after spending a few incredible days of looking at stunning desert and enjoying stunning desserts afterwards. The amazing thing about Argentina is that it is not all crudded up with chains ... [Continue reading this entry]

The drive to this place was filled with so much scenic beauty that we are glad this town is just a little on the ugly side.

Funny thing about Argentina, and Chile for that matter, is that these folks have some strange ideas about when to eat dinner. If you go to a restaurant at 7:30 you are going to be sorely disappointed; the door is ... [Continue reading this entry]
