Nothing better in winter than a thick lentil stew with onions, tomatoes, and plenty of garlic. Nutritious, cheap, and very tasty.

From what I hear, people go along with Milei because the alternative was horrendous. And they applaud his getting rid of the many fake agencies and ñoquis set up during the past twenty years. Agencies and universities created solely to get money for political campaigns, and corral ñoquis'...

I'm prepared to live with a cheap dollar if it means that the country, and Argentines, are doing better. No individual can be really well until everyone else is doing reasonably well, too. Rich people may be insulated by their money, but many have struggling or unemployed relatives. It's...

I bought a set of US$70,00 all-cotton Arredo sheets in Uruguay. They turned out to be so rough and scratchy, that they were practically unusable. Good only to cover stored furniture and the dog's bed.

The political climate may have changed, but its bitterness has not affected most Argentines. They remain warm, generous and, by and large, amazingly happy. On the other hand, the US has been torn apart by the hatred sown by politicians and the partisan news media, a hatred which has filtered...

I've found Spanish, British and Mexican people downright unfriendly, while the French are hostile. Americans, Germans, Belgians and Dutch are plain indifferent. Canadians and Italians are warm and friendly. And Argentines are very much like the Italians - plus being generous.

Johnson Acero, besides steel sinks and countertops, has its own line of good quality particle-board cabinets. Check the link. Barugel sells bathroom fixtures and ceramic tile, and has a design department where they custom-plan whole kitchens and bathrooms. But there is nothing like a skilled...

Sorry, should have written "LIBYA" - which claimed credit for planting the bomb that brought down the plane over Lockerbie, Scotland. That bombing sealed the fate of a wobbly Pan Am, a great airline sorely missed by this ancient traveler.

Reminds me of when Reagan bombed Quadaffi's headquarters in Libya in 1986. Which eventually resulted in Iran's downing a Pan Am airliner over Scotland a year later, killing all people on it and a few more on the ground.

Cristina Kirchner has been condemned to six years of jail, and barred for life from holding elective office.

Years ago I spent some time in San Salvador de Bahia, a colorful, lively town. Parts of it are historical, with many beautiful old buildings. I remember live music everywhere, great ethnic restaurants, and also street "capoeira: demonstrations, a Brazilian rhythmic mix of dance and judo.

Try flying Business Class - many airlines have lie down seats, like beds, If your dates are flexible the cost may be quite reasonable. Maybe twice the cheapest cattle class ticket, but well worth it. And not too much, considering the whole cost of the trip: hotel, car, meals, medical...

Goodness, how incredibly DARING of you....!

Sorry - just assumed most people have friends or family willing to help. But perhaps some don't.

Cards can be mailed hidden inside books, which don't go through customs.

Still looking for Skype replacement. Google does not work with 800 numbers. What about Tello?

Took a Google tour of this 300 people village, and failed to see what makes it special. Must be missing something.

Best of luck...
