| | The Internet Is Alive and Well In Argentina
I am in Argentina right now, Mar del Plata to be exact, and this is the view from my hotel window at this very moment:
 (I did not take this picture, so you can blame Wikipedia for the crappy quality.)I found the internet, obviously, which is unfortunate because it immediately burst my Argentina bubble and reminded me that I have a life in California where my days are not spent tooling around nice hotels and eating dulce de leche by the spoonful. In California young men wearing top hats and capes don't open the front door for me! Waiters named Nicolas do not pour goblets full of Coca-Cola light, my beverage of choice in South America, and refill them before I have a chance to take a last sip. I do not look out the window to see a killer whale breaching a few hundred yards from the shore!
I have met so many interesting people (including, oddly enough, the commissioner general of the Uganda Revenue Authority who came to Argentina in place of the First Lady of Uganda) and I don't want to go home.
But I will. In a few days.
For now, I eat dulce de leche and watch the killer whales and drink little strong cups of coffee and start saving my money to come back again next year.
Argentina is where it's at, yo.
