    Amazon.com books shipped

    So a long time ago (4 years or so) you had to go to the Retiro post office to get amazon packages. Lately I have ordered books to a friend's house in the US and have had them mail them directly to me. I want to cut out the middle man. Will amazon.com packages containing only books arrive at...

    Inflation

    We're leaving in the next few months and have been here for over 5 years. We both work online and can live anywhere. As of right now the benefits of living here are outweighed by the cons.

    Presidental Election in 2011

    Yeah I suppose I shouldn't have asked but I'm getting such mixed information from everywhere. I guess it's like Fox News vs Huffington Post for example. :) I thought what Cobos did was honorable.

    El Chalten worth it?

    YES! I have been 4 times. Some of the most beautiful hiking in the world. Very possible to do an easy-moderate day hike. Fitz Roy is there. It is used in Patagonia (clothes) logo. It is amazingly beautiful and the water is from glaciers and you can drink it. Even if you don't hike you can...

    Argentine things you've been converted to....

    My mom tries to get us to have dinner at 4:30pm. I call it a late lunch. I hate that many restaurants close at 8 or 9 pm in the states.

    Waiting in line? To each their own. I suppose it has helped me some with impatience. Eating late is wonderful. It's so hard to adjust to even a 7 pm dinner time when I visit the States.
