Se trata de que tanto he vivido que quiero vivir otro tanto. It's a question of having lived so much that I want to live that much more. -Pablo Neruda

Earlier in the week, Ben and I ventured over the River Plate to Colonia del Sacramento, the old port town in Uruguay.  Originally colonized by the Portugese, the town is charming, quiet and quaint.  We took a slow, 3-hour ride on the Buquebus ferry from ... Read more >

I´ll be honest: this entire trip is revolving around food. Argentine cuisine is comprised of three things: beef, beef and more beef, with lots of red wine on the side.  Ben and I have already indulged in two parrillas ( barbeques) where various cuts ... Read more >
