Recounting some of my adventures while not on the road. I traveled through Argentina on my way to Antarctica in early 2015, I started with a few days in Buenos Aires.   Upon arriving in BA, my first impressions of the city was that it was a very European looking city.

So, every week I am hoping to go back in time a little and write about some of my past adventures!  This...
