We were told that it would cost 60 pesos. So we got up... mike 2003-06-03T00:20:53-08:00 http://www.mikesbytes.com/travel/archives/000062.html May 30, 2003 After breakfast, we hooked up with two couples - Milena's parents and their relatives from Spain who had a 4-month old baby. We decided to walk with them to La Aripuca, a place that was advertised on... mike 2003-06-03T17:51:24-08:00 http://www.mikesbytes.com/travel/archives/000063.html May 31, 2003 After a decent breakfast, we packed up all of our stuff and headed for the new hotel.

The game didn't start until 3pm, but we had a few stops to make. We had a brief panic when we... mike 2003-06-03T19:14:20-08:00 http://www.mikesbytes.com/travel/archives/000065.html June 1st, 2003 Once again, this is Marga blogging. Mike & Mika are sick today so Iīve left them to rest in our hotel room while I came to read e-mail and do a bit of blogging.

Sometimes you do get what you pay for - at least we're not paying the full rate :-) Anyway, we began the day by... mike 2003-06-09T20:06:13-08:00 http://www.mikesbytes.com/travel/archives/000067.html June 3, 2003 I don't know how people in Argentina can eat so late and still get up at a relatively decent time. We've been getting up anywhere from 9:30 to 11 am. Margarita had been somewhat concerned about an... mike 2003-06-09T21:09:07-08:00 http://www.mikesbytes.com/travel/archives/000068.html June 4, 2003 We woke up late and missed breakfast after not getting to sleep until sometime after 1am. I joined Michaela in feeling sick. At first, I didn't feel well, but I soon followed Michaela's lead and was praying... mike 2003-06-09T21:18:31-08:00 http://www.mikesbytes.com/travel/archives/000069.html June 5, 2003 Today was Thursday, the day that the Madres de Plaza de Mayo turn out at the Plaza de Mayo to remember their "disappeared" childen and family and to demand their return.

I always say this because Mike has become the de facto blogger for the trip, mostly because Iīm too lazy or tired to go and blog. Weīre staying at the hotel... mike 2003-06-10T20:14:24-08:00 http://www.mikesbytes.com/travel/archives/000071.html June 7, 2003 Well, itīs very late at night (12:30) and I want to go to sleep so I will make this day quick. After all, one can write as succintly or as extensively as one wants about any one... mike 2003-06-10T20:33:40-08:00 http://www.mikesbytes.com/travel/archives/000072.html June 8, 2003 Once again itīs Margarita blogging.

While in the US it seems that everyone on the freeway is going faster than the speed limit, many people on the autopista in Argentina go slower than the... mike 2003-06-14T00:50:31-08:00
