How safe is Ensenada? I don’t know but two weeks ago I was in Carmel and never saw a policeman or even a homeless person. In Ensenada I did see several large pickup trucks or kind of armored vehicles driving around, with a person in uniform standing on the top of the vehicle holding what looked...

It's not necessarily a gem, although it depends on how you define a gem city, but it's nice to visit. We were in Ensenada, Baja California. It's a port town, with a large bay. You can live in the city, which is not my preference, or 30 minutes away, where no one bothers you and the coastline is...

I wonder if all we are trying to do is justify and reinforce a decision we have made?. Is it possible that we decided to live in Argentina , for whatever decision, and then we continuously try to justify our decision? Who likes to admit a mistake? Or, we may want to find reasons just to make...

Make sure you understand the benefits, and their definitions, very well. I have Medicare and a secondary. Medicare does not cover me abroad, but the secondary does in case of EMERGENCY. The definition of an emergency is tight, and only covers 80% of the cost. They define it something like this...

Dougie: 1975 was totally different than now. We had a mini civil war going on, and it was savage, so now and then are completely different. However, the Rodrigazo shattered my dreams. I had been working for four years in Argentina, and that was it. I left; I was fortunate in that I had my...

Why Argentina over other countries? Interesting question, and one that I have been debating in my mind lately. About 15 years ago, when I was planning to eventually retire, I thought where? I knew I did not want to be an inmigrant again. I have lived in the USA for nearly 50 years but I was...

I am 71, and I don’t have the energies that I had when younger. I don’t do as much as when younger, and I certainly relax far more than when younger. I can’t hear as as well as I used to, and neither can i see like when younger. Therefore, or there Any advantages to my age? I can far more...

I have no idea when or if the quarantine will be lifted.

I certainly agree with you that the guy is not the full Shillling. From what I’ve read of his background, it’s incredible he was in congress. For me, the very serious issue was that he was sucking the boob of an employee of his, and during working hours. He should have been fired, on the spot...

Your mother is lucky to have you train her in five minutes. You must be a very patient person and a wonderful teacher. When I ask my kids to train me, the results are usually not good. I never know whether it’s because I am a slow learner. Or because they lack patience and get irritated quickly...

I am waiting for Ezeiza to open but with no required 14 day lockdown. Had my bags ready in March and had to unpack! Fires? Highway 1, south of Big Sur opened about a week ago, the same day we started traveling. Yosemite opened two days ago.

I got tired of waiting, so I took a wonderful trip to Big Sur, Carmel, Santa Cruz and San Francisco. And I am continuing to Yosemite.

While I certainly don’t excuse the man, I do find it somewhat hypocritical that so many have so quickly judged the man. After all, aren’t we allowed some privacy in our own homes? Zoom can be considered an invasion of home privacy when it is being used for work, while not providing a place to...

Have you travelled around the world? Most people, in my experience, whether they live in a shit hole or a palace feel the same way you do. Thus, it seems that it's not the place that's so unique, but one's comfort zone. In fact, when I have to take a dump, I have never found a toilet more...

I think el Tigre's advice is excellent. Be cautioned too that finding the correct forms to fill out is not easy. A few years ago, my wife and I took a plane trip from California to Argentina, with a connection in Houston. In this city, as we were boarding the plane and walking thru the sleeve...

I have never gone fly fishing but always intrigued by it. Can you suggest where to go and whom to contact to enjoy that experience?

Buenísimo el vídeo.

A few years ago I was having lunch at a small restaurant in the Greater Buenos Aires area, and the owner came over and we chatted. He was so passionate about the corruption, that no one's pays taxes. When it was time to pay my bill, i gave him cash, he gave me no receipt, thus the sale was...

Many of us have this same problem. I, unfortunately also bank with BBVA, and they NEVER pick up the phone, as has been your experience. I even sent a friend to implore the branch manager to give me a phone number where I could call so I could somehow talk to someone. The manager said their...

Not being rushed out of restaurants In Argentina is certainly a wonderful characteristic for clients but it must be tough for owners and employees. Turnover is very important for profitability and for earning tips. a few years ago I was visiting my daughterin San Francisco and my wife and I...
