This week was a real treat. Two of my friends from San Antonio, Mike and Joy, came down to BA to spend their Thanksgiving holiday with me. So, I had the duty to show them around the town. They arrived on Saturday morning, the 17th, and after a quick workout, I met them at their […]

The past few weeks I’ve been busy mostly with 2 things: studying and working out. I’m in the zone. But, after working both my body and mind, I have little energy to socialize. I have had a chance to hang out a bit with my friend Karina who I met through my friend John from […]

After arriving back in Buenos Aires (BA), Kim and I found a nice hostel in the San Telmo district. San Telmo is sort of like the village in New York – edgy, hip and loaded with entertainment options. After a much needed shower (and a thorough scrubbing of my shoes), we took the afternoon off […]

We woke up early on Wednesday so we could make the trek to our next stop, Purmamarca. We were a little low on provisions so Kim and I roamed the streets to find anything open. We weren’t that successful and could only manage to get a little water and crackers. One of the best parts […]

We got up a little later than we wanted. But, after the night we had dancing (with maybe a little bit of wine), we certainly needed the sleep. We finally made our way into town to check out the local market. Finally, around late morning, we left Tilcara and headed north, to the […]

Thanks to Andres, Noemi and Pepe, we found a car to use for our roadtrip around the provinces of Salta and Jujuy. At 8AM, our Volkswagen-wagon showed up. With five of us and all our gear, it was a tight fit, but we somehow figured it out. We made a quick stop at the grocery […]

Our next stop was the Valle de La Luna (Valley of the Moon) and Talampaya National Parks located just north outside the town of San Agustin. Entering the parks required […]
