About this blog

Hola, chicos! I'm in Buenos Aires to start the next iteration of my travels. The idea this time is to escape the summer heat by wintering in Argentina and Chile. Along the way I'm taking beginner Spanish lessons and lugging around my snowboard. If the weather cooperates and I don't prove too old for this, I should return with a few new tricks up my sleeve.

If any of you are wondering where my head is at lately, Barack Obama summed it up nicely in his recent commencement address to Northwestern University. I think I agree with everything I've heard this man say for quite some time: http://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2006/06/barack.html
