Pillows = Deadly Weapons

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Tomorrow night Buenos Aires is playing host to a pillow fight or “lucha de almohadas” of massive proportions, the Facebook event has over 7,000 attendees so far.  How could I possibly miss out on a fight of that magnitude?  The real question is whether or not to use a body pillow for maximum destruction, or just go with a soft and fluffy one for ease of use.  Decisions decisions.  Putting my policies into practice on this one, I love free stuff!

The Pantanal

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

The best places to stay in the region are “fazendas,” nature lodges that offer a glimpe into country life while also offering all sorts of natural activites.  The ones I’ve checked out offer horseback riding, birdwatching tours, nightspotting tours, canoeing, kayaking, the list goes on.  I may have to plan another trip for Brazil…

Tours

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008
I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of tours.  I've always been one to explore at my own pace.  I don't like being ushered about town with only a limited amount of time to see certain things.  I'd ... [Continue reading this entry]

My water bottle

Monday, November 10th, 2008
After a year or so of having this little guy, aluminum my water bottle has started to show a little character.  There are lots of dings, dents, and scratches all over the thing, and each one tells a different story. The ... [Continue reading this entry]

Have you ever done long term travel and been overwhelmed by the amount of email from friends and family?  You know you want to answer each one in a thoughtful and timely manner, but it's just too much when you're ... [Continue reading this entry]
