Slow Train to the End of the World
The southernmost tip of South America, referred to as The End of the World, contains Tierra Del Fuego (Land of Fire) National Park. A replica steam train took us slowly on the 7 km journey through the park to the very tip of the continent. Also called the Prisoners’ Train, it reflects the park’s history […]

Adios Buenos Aires
On our last night in Buenos Aires, we take in a crazy kaleidoscope of a show, an immersive theater experience called Fuerza Bruta (Brute Force). Acrobats spinning around on a globe, running full throttle on a treadmill, a woman twisting in a pool of water and battling a man suspended underneath her, pastel-clad drummers accompanying […]

Sail Away
More than 2 months after the planned launch date, I am finally on a cruise. Not the 3-year cruise of my dreams, but a shorter drive-by to Antarctica. A group of us cruise castaways boarded the Celebrity Cruise ship Eclipse for a two-week tour. I will have only sporadic internet access during the cruise, so […]

My Favorite Niece
One of the most disappointing things about the cruise being cancelled was that I was so looking forward to having my niece Chrissy join me for the Antarctica segment. She had already purchased her flight ticket, so when the cruise was cancelled, she decided to stick with her plans and come to Buenos Aires with […]

Gaucho Girls
Gaucho girls Beverly, Michelle and Basia took in a tour of a gaucho (cowboy) ranch at San Antonio de Areco, a couple hours outside of Buenos Aires. We saddled up for a horseback ride through the Argentinian pampas. This is the three of us all trying to photograph each other. (Especially note my equestrian-themed shirt […]
