God my feet hurt. Where am I, New York City? Walking, walking and more walking.. Second day of Buenos Aires and it still seems to be Summer. I have a feeling that this weather isn’t going away. Strange.
A few more things I have noticed about this city:
a. I am staying near a park that has tons of wild cats in it. They even have a sign near it that says ‘Don’t abandon your Mascots here.’ I think that’s what it says at least. What’s up with the abandoning of mascots? Anyone? Do the Argentians hate cats? Are the cats here ferocious? I’m keeping my distance from here on out.
b. a short list inside of a list. things that are cheap here in this city: food. anything related to food. taxis. not clothes. not soap. food. the subway.
So essentially everything but the clothes and cool neat soap. doesn’t it seem weird to pay the equivelant of 10 dollars for an entire meal and then turn around and charge 40 dollars for a tshirt? In the same neighborhood??
Wednesday’s meal: 1/4 roasted chicken. Side of spanish potatoes. coke. chorizo. total: 12.50. yes i’ll take it!
c. Still no one speaks English. When will this change? I ordered my b’fast today in Spanish. AQUI! Boom. Take that.
d. Fuck the coffee is good here. I would have it with every meal . Oh shit I do.
e. I saw more kids with dreadlocks in this city than I have seen with futbols. what the heck??
f. (97 degrees here today.)

b. A Place to Bury Strangers goes on tour. I guess ill see them again in March HERE.
c. A HEROES sneak peak at next season, sort of. HERE.
d. Some not so smart man drinks a liquid that turns him blue and then does not stop. HUH?
e. Mp3′s from metallica that are from the good ole days HERE. oh they’re legal too.
f. 23 great ITUNES add ons. HERE.

(Tango for Cash)
(Don’t cry for me Argentina!)
(This is what I imagine New Orleans to look like)
(This is on the wall of the Revolution Museum that I also did not go in. I hope it is a revolutionary thought, not just something like, Hey Dina, I miss you and your lovely meatload, Johnny!)
(please note the man in the short sleeved shirt selling a Santa playing guitar!)
(This area near a street called Florida, reminded me of Market Street in SF.)
All these pictures were taken by me and were taking with my Rebel XT with a wide lens. More to follow.

Let’s say this; traveling to South America is not easy. I mean 21 hours door to door from New York City to Buenos Aires, Argentina is no fucking joke. You have to be prepared with at least 2 tylenol PMs and a resilience against awful haircuts.
A few things you need to know about Buenos Aires:
a. Most people don’t speak English. And this isn’t just me talking like a dumb American, expecting everyone to speak MY language, I mean not that many people speak it at all. So be prepared to point a lot. And grunt. Damn, I grunt a lot.
b. Kids have tails. Not like demons but like I had when I was a kid when I lived in New Jersey. So not like a cool tail, like a guido tail.
c. The service is not great here but the food is. So be prepared to sit around a ton.
d. Food is cheap. Like amazingly cheap. below is what I ate for dinner 2 nights ago:
Bread. A bottle of water. A Diet Coke. Three Italian appetizers: mushrooms, calamari and mozzarella cheese and vegetables. Stuff shells with ricotta.
Pasta in a white truffle sauce. A dessert plate that comprised of: Tiramisu, flan, strawberries and ice cream.
Total Price: 20 dollars. No Joke.
e. If a place is prix fixe’d, they will not talk to you at all, just bring out dish after dish. I swear the people next to me had a completely different meal than me without anyone asking me anything. I didn’t talk to the waiter once.
f. the A Team in spanish is still hysterical.
g. So is NEXT on MTV.
h. Homer’s voice in Spanish is not.
Ok that’s it for now. More soon. I’ll probably post some pictures up today or tomorrow. Took some nice ones today.
