They say travel broadens your horizons and expands your mind. So, in that spirit, I share with you the things I learned today:
*Olives used for olive oil are different than the ones you eat
*It's difficult to find an ugly Argentine man (or woman, for that matter)
*Don´t wear flip-flops when it´s raining in Argentina (this lesson courtesy of my friend Laura) (in case you´re wondering why, the reason is that many sidewalks are made from slippery tile or slate)
*Flan is better when eaten with dulce de leche
*9 p.m. is too early to go to dinner
*It´s easier to speak Spanish when you´ve had some Argentine wine (this lesson also courtesy of Laura -- Me? I find it more difficult to speak English when I´ve had some wine)
I quickly learned the flip-flops lesson in Prague, too. Cobblestones and flip-flops not a good match.
I'm glad to hear you have plenty of eye candy and good food Jen. It's been quiet here without you!
EVERYTHING is better with dulce de leche!
I know you are having a great time as I sit here bundled up amidst the ice storm! toma una cervesa pensando de mi.
