Beautiful story.

I was in Colonia a few weeks ago and got some outstanding lemons at the local TaTa. They were imported - from Thailand. What are Argentine lemon producers thinking about?

Just ran across my 2015 monthly budget. With the exchange rate of 13 pesos per dollar, my car insurance was 143 dollars per month. This month, with the blue rate at $1,220, it was US$123. On the other hand, my ABL climbed from 43 to 72 dollars. Go figure.

In Argentina, never a dull moment.....

My yearly car tag was $165,000 last year. It is now $345,000. This is for a beat-up 2013 Rav4. Basic version, no 4-wheel drive or anything fancy. The cheapest one.

St. Andrews, Cardenal Newman, Michaelham, St.Georges, and Cristoforo Colombo, ORT and Jean Mermoz are where the local elite send their children. There are other schools just as good academically, but those give children access to a network of friends who will determine their future lives...

You are right about most of Patagonia, a harsh land only good for raising sheep. Except for the Rio Negro High Valley, where most apples and pears come from. A green oasis, specially in the stretch between Neuquen and Chinchinales.

How many Thailandese are there in Argentina? Thai restaurants are plentiful in BA.

Got spoiled in the Washington, D.C. area, with dozens of superb Vietnamese restaurants. It is a great cuisine, a wonderful mix of French and Chinese cooking. On the other hand, no Korean restaurants there. But plenty of Eskimo, Latvian, Samoan, and Belize restaurants.

How about a good Vietnamese restaurant? Haven't found any yet.

My dogs traveled as checked luggage without any trouble. Just make sure not to give your cat any sleeping pills, and put a favorite pillow or blanket in the crate so there will be a familiar smell.

Are you sure the cat can't travel with you? I believe they are allowed in the cabin, provided the carrier fits under the seat. It is far better for the cat, and far better for your wallet, as they pay as an extra piece of luggage: only $100 or $200, depending on the airline.

I cleaned the port three times, as instructed in YouTube videos - still not charging. Currently waiting for the wireless charger I bought in the US.

I'm using the newer iPhone 13 charger for both phones. That's one Apple missed: it is the same port for both models, eight years apart. Unlike its Air machines, with different charge ports every couple of years. Designed to force suckers like me to buy new chargers or their exclusive...

Just thinking....my dinosaur iPhone 6's charging port wasn't cleaned in ten nears, and works just fine. The "more advanced" 13 port had to be professionally cleaned at six months, and it has now stopped working. Chalk one for the dinosaurs.

Good to know that it wasn't just me. I'll get a MagSafe charger. But I've had it with Apple and their propietary gimmicks. They got too big, and they got too arrogant. Will switch to a PC and to other brand of cell phone in the future.

My iPhone 6 is, in fact, a dinosaur. But it still works, and it has never let me down. Long live Tyrannosaurus rex, a.k.a. the iPhone 6.

My trusted iPhone 6 got charged with the charger that would not work with the 13. Must be the phone. Tried cleaning the charger port and now it is charging just to 4%. Then it stops.

What is wireless charging? Never heard of it. (As I never heard of so many technologically advanced things...) I tried three different cables plus the original iPhone charger, and none worked.

I just got my iPhone 6 back - now enthusiastically charging...! Any suggestions on a good place to take the paperweight 13 to be checked?
