It’s been an absolutely incredible week. We flew into Salta city on friday night and then my friend and I had a Parilla for 2; it was the biggest portion of meat I’ve seen here. On Saturday we hiked up to a lookout with a stray dog then had some of the best empanadas in…

Life in the “Slow” Lane
Upon my arrival to Buenos Aires, it was clear that I was in a rush. I went into a café and request a large coffee to go, but quickly realized that the store was packed to the gills with people slowly sipping small cups of expresso and chatting with their friends. The same slow manner…

A New Normal
So I’ve been in Buenos Aires for a little over one month. Sometimes it feels like I can’t possibly be 5,000 miles away from home. Queen is playing on the speakers all the time––the Hollywood movie was a big hit in Argentina. McDonalds Bic Mac combos still taste exactly the same. The other Pitt…
