So considering that I read this in the BA Herald, I want to believe that maybe something was lost in the translation...but I kind of doubt it. I love me the Abuelas, I truly do. But if it's true, this is just bad form. Did anyone hear the original radio interview? Grandmothers of Plaza de...

So my parents are planning a vist to BA and I'm trying to find them a hotel that they will be happy with and I won't have to worry too much about them (Mom is 76 and Pops is 79). I'd prefer they stay in Puerto Madero or Recoleta. To complicate things, they like places that offer complimentary...

Anyone else following Hugo Chavez on Twitter? I'm using it as kind of a 'Spanish words of the day' exercise. ;)

A friend and I are thinking of going to the Boca Jrs. and Banfield game this Sunday. Does anyone know if we can purchase tickets day of the game or do we need to get them in advance? If anyone would like to join us give a shout out.
