We apologize for going missing in action the past two weeks… Our excuse(s)? Meetings and travel in Europe, a move within Buenos Aires, and turmoil in business have kept us busy buried little bees…
We’re recovering our composure and will get back to our regular blogging duties as best as we can starting today dear reader.
In recent news, we moved to a new apartment that has TV. We’ve been told that the mayhem level in Argentina is going up in advance of the approaching presidential elections… that various factions have an interest in arousing the displeasure of the populous. So, the professional protesters, the ‘piquetaros’, labor groups, and other political mafia organizations are mobilizing to instill a feeling of unrest.
We didn’t see it before, but, on the evening news these days there is a fair amount of chaos around Argentina. The news is obviously sensationalized. But there’s a good amount of real footage of real trouble. And the robbery of Francis Ford Coppela’s house was the icing on the cake this week.
Anyway, our daily life here in BA moves on uneventful, in terms of outside disruptions. The weather has transformed into perfect spring. Life is good. Perhaps we should return to the bliss of no TV…

This can’t really go on…I imagine that the stability of the so called ‘goverment’ is inversely proportional to the price of food. And food prices keep going up : )
Also I’ve found a book wich you must read.
It’s called “Amazing Argentine” and was written by a british traveler in 1910 - You’ll see that the country is the same mess now as it was then - all the myths about it being a serious and rich country are mostly nonsense.
Enjoy (free donwload!) :
