Good Morning, Wellfleet

I was up early and decided to go for a ride on the way to the office. I found an amazingly beautiful beach called Cahoon Hollow. Weather was hot and the sun was bright, and it wasn’t even 9am! Cape Cod is such a beautiful place to be in the summer, especially the less touristy Outer Cape.

American brands in BA

Ryan — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 16:18:13 +0000

I’m always surprised to see which American (or International) brands make it down to Buenos Aires. Of course we have McDonalds and Burger King on every corner, and even a kosher McDonalds or two. But now Starbucks is opening a new store every few months.
I’ve also seen:

Subway
Staples
Hooters
TGI Fridays
Beni Hana
Levi’s, Adidas, Puma, Nike, Wrangler stores
even Curves, the ladies gym

But still no Dunkin Donuts or Taco Bell. Anyone up for an overseas investment?

Crossing more than the Delaware.

White Stripes vs. Patti Page!

I never knew the awesomeness of this song started way back in 1956! Leave it to Mr. White to find and cover cool old songs (see their version of Dolly Parton’s Jolene and his work with Loretta Lynn).

Who’s got lice in Argentina?!

FYI I don’t have lice, but we found this product at the local pharmacy!

Travel Pics: Bariloche & Puerto Madryn

Ryan — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 04:49:04 +0000

Here’s a sampling of some photos from my trip to Bariloche. The bulk of the photos are online here. I went to Bariloche, Chocolate capital of the lakes region of Argentina. My week there was absolutely beautiful. Then I crossed the border (and the Andes mountains) into Chile to renew my passport. The whole trip was full of breathtaking vistas: mountains, lakes, waterfalls, volcanoes, animals. From Puerto Varas, Chile, I went back Bariloche and caught a bus to Puerto Madryn on the east coast. I was able to visit some friends there and also see the largest penguin colony in South America in Punto Tombo.
