2 cities enter. One city leaves. Will it be Santiago, Chile – the home of enormous mayo covered hot dogs and some of the most impressive mountain views anywhere in the world? or Will it be Buenos Aires, Argentina -where you can (and more or less have to) eat steak 5+ times a week?

This morning we met Daphne and her brothers and sisters. This afternoon, we took her home. She is pretty cute.

Stuff overload

That all changed on October 11th. On October 11th [...] No related posts.

And… we’re back

ryan — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 06:49:55 +0000

Coming back after a long trip can be an experience in itself. We’ve been back in the US for 2 weeks now after spending 6 months in Argentina and Chile. Buenos Aires is a drama queen–she cried the day before we left all day (AKA it rained). Seattle welcomed us in the only way it [...] Rehab phase 1 is almost complete; Phase 2 is coming
