Buenos Aires – First off, thanks to all who sent Henry good wishes, he’s out of the hospital, doing well, and staying with me until he’s back on his feet. The aforementioned hospital (a couple days ago) pumped two last units of whole blood into him, removed his IV and told him to go home… Read More No New York Deli
Buenos Aires – In my trips back and forth to La Plata to visit with Henry in the hospital, I’d noted passing through a small town called “Hudson.” It had struck me as slightly odd, but no more so than such places as “City Bell.” Besides, much of the colonial population was English. Somehow or… Read More Guillermo Enrique Hudson
La Plata – Things are a little nutty here at the moment. My boyfriend Henry, whom I’ve talked about, is in the hospital. It’s been quite serious, so I’ve been spending most of my time there, and food has been pretty much limited to cafeteria offerings. Things are looking up however, so within a few… Read More Just a note…
Buenos Aires – Just a link to my photo album from July. For the most part, these are full sized photos of those here in the blog, the rest are others that I liked but just didn’t find a reason to include here. Feel free to copy them, print them, order them, or use them… Read More July Photos

It is predominately a residential area, just north and east of the Belgrano “C” train station, and easy to get to by train,… Read More Chinos
Buenos Aires – Note: a couple of people e-mailed me to ask for larger pictures… so I’ve upped their size a little bit. It was a stunningly glorious day – high 60s, not a cloud in the sky, a light breeze, just one of those perfect times to be out wandering around. I made it… Read More Liver & Llamas
Buenos Aires – The area I wandered into last night in search of Vietnamese food looked charming, so I thought I’d return during the day. I found myself in SoHo, Palermo SoHo that is, but much the same as the one in New York, this is the current chi-chi name for this section of Palermo… Read More Kafta-esque
