We have arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and are already highly organized. I have a pile of AC adapters in the middle of the floor, and Jen has a pile of coffee-making tools on the counter. We will spend the next couple of days trying to turn our respective piles into high-output productivity centres.We landed late yesterday evening and only had time for a short walk before the seeing-double-from-exhaustion problem forced us back to our apartment. We had sandwiches on a very cool terrasse about a block and a half from our apartment; Casa del Popolo meets Le Figaro, with Buenos Aires squeegies and young children filling the streets around us. There were only sixteen embarassing language moments during the restaurant transaction, and I feel that there is room for improvement.
The cheap booze rumours have been confirmed, as have the cheap drunk after 24 hours of air travel rumours.
Now, after 16 hours in bed, we both feel... weird. But we're heading out for a more thorough walk now.

Sounds exciting! I can't wait to hear about all the new adventures that await you! Tell me more about this cheap beer? ...
Dear Neil and Jen,
Thank you for the wonderful blog !
Love, Niky.
P.S. I am sure that you will get used to the Argentinian accent. Think in Italian and say it in Spanish, and it willl come out right.
Good for people to know.
