Rather than post a zillion photos from our four day trip to Ushuaia, I’m going to do this in videos. This was my second trip and Henry’s first. My original trip I spent a bit more time writing about here (and following posts). This time I selected out about a hundred photos from nearly a… Read More Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, and Penguins
Just a round-up of last thoughts and images from La Paz. Let’s see, several people have asked me if I recommend going there. The answer is, yes, but with some caveats. First off, in the city, unless you’re the sort like me who just likes to wander around and see what’s happening in a place,… Read More La Paz, Out….
I’m not going to do little mini restaurant reviews of everywhere I ate, though I will mention where I ate things – I thought it might be more interesting overall to just look at the kind of things I ate while in La Paz. Most of it was traditional, but some was a bit more… Read More La Paz Eats

All the major markets in La Paz proper seem to be located around the center of town, I suppose that’s somewhat logistical – prior to the boom in El Alto, everyone from all sides of the city could simply walk or ride downhill… Read More To Market, To Market…
Being realistic is sometimes, not always, a good thing – flights of fancy or fantasy are just fine as well. The reality is, however, I will probably never eat at Noma, the much touted world’s best on one list or another. And whether it is “the” best is irrelevant, it’s obviously up there in the… Read More Spawn of World’s Best
So, La Paz, Bolivia. I know some of you have been waiting for this. It’s one of those places that, well, none of us really know anything about. I mean, people talk about visiting Buenos Aires or Rio de Janeiro or Lima or any of a handful of other spots in South America, but who… Read More Welcome to Our Lady of Peace
