The purpose of this site,
is to keep friends and family (at least those that are interested)
updated on our South America Odyssey, and provide a convenient place
that can occasionally be visited to see what we are up to.

As you know, we took care of the house in Denver, by renting to a
really nice couple that we are sure will care for the place. On
May
9th, we hopped on a plane (which was hit by lightening en-route) and
flew down to Buenos Aires, where we are now. We stayed in a hotel
for
the first week, and we have moved into a two bedroom apartment, where
we will staying for the remainder of our stay here. In late June,
we
will leave Argentina, and take a ferry to Montevideo, where we will
rent a car, which we will have during our week stay in Punta de Este (a
resort area in Uruguay) which, "in season" is the South American
playground for the Rich and Famous...... which explains why we are
going there "off season" (don't forget,....it is winter here).
After Punta, we will go back to Montevideo and stay for, as yet, an
undetermined period.. We've really enjoyed the way we approached
Buenos Aires....which involved getting a lot of the initial touristy
stuff out of the way, and basically assuming the role of residents (we
already have our favorite "hang out" spots, restaurants,
etc.....). We
essentially work during the day, when the market is open (just as we
did in Denver), and then decide if we want to head out, or cook in the
apartment. We plan on approaching our time in Montevideo the same
way.

Ricky and his lovely C/R GF are in South America checking out
suitable places to pitch their tent. Very interesting journal,
with
lots of nice pictures of women and food. Which just reminded me
of
this story.
Ricky was the Club
Officer
at Fort Eustis in the 70's. I dropped by to see him when in the
area, and was shown into his very spacious office. Just as I
entered
the room a completely nude girl comes walking out of the
bathroom.
Ricky introduces me, and she leaves.
I am slack-jawed.
Ricky explains that because the civilian bars around Eustis all have
nude dancing, he was increasingly unable to meet his budge which
depended on liquor profit. So ... . The dancers used his
bathroom to changw into their skin.
I am not making that up.
