Discover Buenos Aires

Unfortunately, work has once again taken over a major part of our lives for the past few weeks, so we’ve been a bit slow on posting any new updates.  I’ve got a few drafts started, but they’ve been on hold while we try and juggle these other projects and Spanish classes.  Let me tell you, running [...]

One nice thing about numbering all of the Random Observations is that we know exactly how long we’ve been here, and wow, 12 weeks goes by really quickly. Some of our new and improved random observations now include photos!  Enjoy…

Spring is definitely in the air here. The weather is getting hot, the [...]

Marco, our Spanish tutor, sent us this video today and what do you know, I can actually understand all of it!  I’m not sure what he’s trying to say about how our lessons are going, but the video is pretty funny.

Ok, we’ve been slacking…well, not really slacking, we’ve been working hard, but work has unfortunately interefered with my ability to post as often as I would like. The move to BsAs was supposed to help reduce our workload, but right now it seems like we’re working as hard as ever.  Anyhow, we’ve made this week’s [...]

Random Observations: Week 8

The sushi is horrible here - don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Ok, that may not be entirely true, some of the sushi is passable here and if you only like salmon and cream cheese, you’ll probably be fine. Had we become sushi snobs from living in NYC?

Ok, so let me [...]

Last night we had a chance to check out the Pete Bjorn and John show at the onedeotzero Festival and they didn’t disappoint. It was a beautiful spring night and the outdoor setting was the perfect backdrop for their hour and fifteen minute set in front [...]

Another week, almost another skipped Random Observations.  Unfortunately, we missed putting one up last week because we’ve been swamped with work, but luckily we’re managing to squeeze this one in. Hopefully we’ll be able to get a few new posts in this week too.
Random Observations: Week 7

The fruits and vegetables are really good here. Mersal [...]

With the recent turmoil in the financial markets including the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the federal bailout of AIG, will more wealthy New Yorkers look to move out of the city and head to Buenos Aires where the dollar is stronger?
While this may not happen (we certainly hope not), this week has certainly been [...]

We keep having random observations even though we’re much more accustomed to our surroundings, so we’ll keep posting ‘em…
Random Observations: Week 5

As you walk down the street here, you might notice some cars that have jugs half-filled with some type of liquid sitting on top of the roof. We’ve seen this many times and have [...]

Random Observations: Week 4

Argentines love to socialize. At merienda, which is basically a late afternoon snack eaten between lunch and dinner, people will sit for hours with a single cup of coffee or espresso and pastry and talk.  Our gym even has a cafe in the front of it that is usually pretty busy with [...]
