So the ground hog saw his shadow... Great.. just wonderful. Did it have to be this year? Checking the weather networks and sure enough we are getting some. So, rather than wait for the weather... we have opted to outfly it. We were able to change our flights and leave a whole 12 hours earlier than planned. Of course, we will spend that 12 hours …

Okay... now I expected a big city... a busy city.... but this place is huge and it doesn´t sleep. It´s in constant movement. Giant masses of people moving about in anything motorized... and the noice... WOW. They also drive like maniacs. Shifting gears, grinding them, making the engines throttle at high speeds... blearing horns... …

The Subte; an underground train with the ability to move people rapidly... all under the city´s belly. Now using the subway is a regular affair for Sue... however, for Serge and I not so much.

We had however practiced in Toronto while on our layover, so we felt ready to face the underground adventure. We started our journey very easily, …

Honestly, anyone planning on taking a course in Marketing or working in the retail sector, should take a walk along La Florida. Every single store has an employee outside, dedicated in bringing the person walking along the …

As we left Buenos Aires, we left a lot of things behind. The busy city, the noice, the people, the smells... and the sun. Flying over to El Calafate was a very interesting affair. First there was nothing but water.... then there was nothing but dirt. From above, the land was all brown... from as far as the eye can see...nothing but brown... like a …

We spent several days trekking about the park, guided by Pedro.

The first trek, a day hike, we left our hostelleria "la Casa de Piedras" and hiked to the base of a mountain. We had lunch and then we walked up the side of the mountain and were rewarded with views in all directions. The most outstanding thing was the wind. It was blowing …

Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the few glaciers that is stable and not receeding. Although it keeps providing a continuous amount of fresh water, it is also receiving enough snow to keep it's current size.

As our boat took us from one side of the lake directly to the base of the glacier, all you could see was this massive blueish mountain. …
