Mini Odyssey

St. Patrick's day at the end of the world

ARGENTINA | Wednesday, 18 Mar 2009 | Views [366]

After finishing my blog last night I was walking back to my hotel and came across an Irish pub serving green beer, and like any self-respecting girl with some Irish heritage I stopped in!  I love that the Irish represent with pubs all over the world ... Read more >

Car rentals that include fire extinguishers?

CHILE | Sunday, 15 Mar 2009 | Views [533] | Comments [1]

So Poppy and I rented a car in El Calafate to drive to Torres del Paine.  We assumed the fire extinguisher under the seat could not be a good sign!!  Fortunately there were no fires, just long roads where you saw an occasional cow or guanaco.  We also ... Read more >


Trekking the Glacier

ARGENTINA | Friday, 13 Mar 2009 | Views [378]

I would say the highlight of the trip has been trekking on El Perito Moreno Glacier.  It was amazing.  Poppy was not enjoying the rain that we started out with.  Fortunately the day cleared and even though we had clouds the sun would pop out for various ... Read more >


Dusty driving in Patagonia

BRAZIL | Wednesday, 11 Mar 2009 | Views [548]

So as predicted I´m slacking on the blog.  Poppy and I have had a whirlwind sort of trip in the Lakes region of Patagonia.  We took a 16 hour overnight bus to Bariloche from Mendoza.  I think they do it at night so that you can´t see how small the ... Read more >


Festival de la Viediema

ARGENTINA | Sunday, 8 Mar 2009 | Views [586]

Mendoza seems to be a favorite for Poppy and I.  It is the perfect size city.  We were told it is about 1 million people.  It has wonderful food, wineries right outside of town, shopping and beautiful plazas to chill at on a lazy sunday.  Plaza España ... Read more >


Too much wine = Headache = whining

ARGENTINA | Friday, 6 Mar 2009 | Views [554]

Last night was our final night in Buenos Aires and we spent it in Palermo.  We ate at a yummy restaurant called Cabrera.  They served honkin pieces of meat and fantastic wine.  We had a steak or two and a bottle or two! We woke up after 4 hours of ... Read more >


Quick recaps

ARGENTINA | Thursday, 5 Mar 2009 | Views [464]

So quickly I will explain the last couple of days.  I wrote a nice, witty entry last night and then all was deleted when I ran out of time.  The joys of traveling and attempting to do the simple things of life that become extremely time consuming. ... Read more >

ARGENTINA | Monday, 2 Mar 2009 | Views [447]

We are currently in Buenos Aires. I have been instructed to use aliases for my girls traveling with me. So Moe and I arrived yesterday and on arriving at our hotel that Polly had picked out we discovered that there was no AC and a very lively Discoteca ... Read more >

Sunburns and Samba

BRAZIL | Thursday, 26 Feb 2009 | Views [462]

The last few days in Rio have been great!  We attended some of the Carnival events, but Stephanie and I have proved to be the opposite of party animals.  I know this doesn't come as a surprise to my family and close friends.  The blocos are basically ... Read more >


Welcome to Carnival

Stephanie arrived safe and sound this afternoon.  We made her change into her bikini and go straight out.  Ambien is her new best friend!  She was a total trooper.  We went to 2 blocos, basically just crazy street parties.  The one in Ipanema was a giant ... Read more >


Boa Dia, Boa Tarde, Boa Noite

Today is a bit of a blur.  Thomas is a good big brother and was at the airport to get me.  He haggled with the taxi drivers and impressed me with his portuguese! The day really consisted of me sleeping on Ipanema beach,  sleeping on the bus and sleeping ... Read more >
