Its hot and tropics here in BA right now. We just finished seeing Sam's dad off and are about to welcome my sister, Sabrena. She's spending all day Christmas in an airport or airborn. Likely the most boring way to spend Christmas.
When she arrives we're off to Punte Del Este to hit the beaches and do some snorkeling. I've posted some pictures of tango shows, bookstores, cafe's and concerts. I hope this gives you a better idea of the character of Buenos Aires.
Let me know if you need my address to send presents.
I'm not picky.

Patagonia & Happy Feet El Penguino
2 Comments Published by Ster on Sunday, December 17, 2006 at 6:14 PM.
We spent the last week in Patagonia (the province of Chubut) where we came face to face with happy feet el penguino. Happy feet agreed to do a quick photo shoot for us (photo to the right). really nice guy. The big screen ads about 5 feet, turns out he's only about 16 inches tall.during our week we also got within 10 feet of a right whale and her new born baby, saw wild ostriches, lama's, lizards, sea lions, elephant seals and something that looked like a mix between a dog with horns and a naked rabbit.
All and all a fantastic experience. But because I just took the last 5 days off, I have a lot of work to do right now. So I'm just going to post a handful of pictures of the region.
I miss you all and hope to hear from you all soon.

Me: Finishing the last pages of the book "the end of poverty" by Jefferey Sachs. Highly recomend. Thanks for the book Simron.
