Things I may not have mentioned about Argentina.

There are a few random good and bad things that I may have forgotten to mention.

#1--- I have sixten mosquito bites on one arm. Not to mention other parts of my body. They´ve been there since BA and led to a hilarious conversation with a pharmacist in Calafate which was "tiene... (lara points to arm)" pharmacist laughs and says "Ahhhh... antiallergico!"

#2---My knee is still sore.

#3--- Things are in such US prices here that every once in a while mary and I have to check ourselves and remind ourselves to divide by three. A cute very nice restaurant, a bottle of really good argentina wine, the best warm trout salad with celery and pumpkin, and some amazing glazed carrots with an entire wheel of melted herbed provelone on top cost $80 peso! yikes! ´til we realized that is approximately $25 TOTAL.

#4--- Mary, trish and I have been conducting an alfajore taste test. A cookie of two cakey type cookies with dulce de leche between them and a chocolate coating. they typically cost about 1 peso (30 cents)

#5--- there are dogs everywhere! (But I have managed to find at least one cat in every town including a very scared one up in the tree yesterday). The dogs are typically very friendly and either don´t give you a second thought or else run to you for attention. They really, would practically speak english to you although the react better to "perro" or "perrito" than to "dog" or "puppy")

#6--- I´ve yet to see tango or football so there is something left still to do in BA....
