After 9 Months on the Road...

A Argentina nos vamos! We are returning to our hemisphere: to the Americas, where our hearts lie. We will even be in a time zone one hour later than Eastern Standard time, which will be so much easier to contemplate than 17 hours ahead of EST, as we have been in New Zealand.
We fly out to Buenos Aires this evening. Neither of us has been to Buenos Aires before and Joe has never been to Argentina. It seems everyone we meet who has spent time there recently can't say enough positive things about it.When we arrive, we will go straight to a little apartment we have rented for a month in the colonial neighborhood of San Telmo, famous for it's Saturday market replete with tango dancers and lots of tourists. The apartment has an indoor hammock, which is it's most winning feature, in Joe's mind. Having a home base for a while is something we're both excited about; our costs will be lower, we will get to know one place quite thoroughly, and we might even try to figure out what we are doing with our lives after this trip!
