Buenos Aires is considered by some to be the ‘Paris of South America’ and reminded us a lot of Barcelona and even New York. Sidewalk cafes, museums galore, amazing architecture, and bustling nightlife…whichever city you want to compare it to, Kelly and I absolutely loved our time here. We crammed in a lot during our [...]

Argentina is not for vegetarians
Posted in Argentina, tagged Argentina, Food, Wine on October 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
One of the things that Kelly and I love about Argentina is all of the red meat and how amazingly cheap and tasty it is. Our typical meal includes the following: -1 juicy, perfectly cooked steak as big as your head (Kelly and I share it and we still don’t even finish the whole thing) -Salad/Veggies [...]
La Boca and Recoleta

Kelly and I decided the best way to familiarize ourselves with Buenos Aires was to take a ‘hop on, hop off’ bus tour that stopped at various points of interest around the city. Aside from the bus being thirty minutes late at each stop, it was a great way to see the town. The first [...]
Bienvenidos a Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires! Kim and I arrived bright and early at 4am Friday morning after 10 hours of travel. We grabbed a cab and headed to Milhouse Hostel located in the downtown Monserrat barrio. Check in at the hostel wasn’t until 1pm, but luckily the nice guy in reception let us get into to our room early. The hostels [...]
Costa Rica Wrap Up

Kelly and I loved Costa Rica and hope to make it back someday to explore more of the towns in Guanacaste, Nicoya, and the Caribbean side. These are our final thoughts before we head off to our next destination. The Landscape and Weather: Tropical rainforests with a ton of wildlife, palm trees, golden sand beaches, [...]
Dominical Days

Please note that Kelly is the author of this post, even though it is posted under Kim’s name. Internet access DRAMA! Oh Dominical. What a great little beach town! We said goodbye to our friends at Vista Serena to head south to Dominical. After a pretty painless hour and a half bus ride, we reached [...]
While you were at ACL…

Kelly and I made some good friends in Monteverde, but were really looking forward to some quality beach time. After a couple of relatively tame bus rides, we reached Manuel Antonio, a small beach town on the Pacific Coast and home to Manuel Antonio National Park, the most visited park in Costa Rica. All of our new friends [...]
Canopy Tours Are Awesome

Ahhhh. Monteverde. After a great time in La Fortuna, Kim and I took the “Jeep Boat Jeep” to this quaint little mountain town. Instead of a 7-hour public bus ride (due to the fact that you have drive around Lake Arenal), we opted to pay the $18 to ride 15 minutes in a private van, [...]
