Woosh-the New Year is here.
I will soon get used to writing the numbers 1-0. Currently, I ‘m catching myself at 2-0-0, right before writing the “9″. I’m getting adept at squeezing a “1″ before a third “O”. Anyone else still adjusting?
We return from our 5 week Argentina trip on Monday, January 11. We’ve hung with the city folk in BsAs, drank copious amounts of Malbec in Mendoza, trekked on glaciers and mountains in Patagonia, and chilled with penguins and sea lions in Ushuaia.
Get ready for Argentina-related stories and pics out the wazoo, now that I’m re-emerging into wifi-friendly spots.
As a taste of what’s to come, here’s a video by Mr. Gnome.
(Forgive the shakiness-Mr. Gnome doesn’t suffer from arthritis, our point-and-shoot sneaks whiskey when we’re not looking.)
Horse-back riding near El Calafate, one of my favorite experiences of the trip:
(For the record-I said my horse’s name was Carasusia. Darn wind from those stunning Patagonia mountains…) We ended up loving horseback riding so much we went back two more times.
Horse-riding must have been fun!
Looking forward to more Argentina-related stories and pics!
I took an exam (enterprise taxation, yawn!) on Friday. First on page 8 I suddenly discovered the date was 8.1.2010, not 8.1.2009! Luckily, I still had time left to go trough all the 8 pages and insert an 1 before 0, and cross out the 9! lol
That was quite possibly the fastest 5 weeks ever! Hope you enjoyed every minute!
Dude, I can’t figure out how to write “2010″ in short form. I keep writing “01″ and it’s making life difficult.
YAY HORSES! I can’t wait to see more! You look like a natural.
@Abhi-Yes, it was a blast!
@Joanna-yummy: enterprise taxation…lol. I’m still not used to the 1-0.
@Julie-I agree. Can’t believe it’s been five weeks. The trip was amazing.
@Candice-I KNOW! Short form, long form…I’m still not functioning. That video was my third time on a horse (and third time riding in Argentina)…you should have seen me the first ride. I don’t think I budged an inch the first ride out of fear the horse would sprint off.
I haven’t had to write many 2010′s yet, but when I have, it’s been surprisingly easy. I just like the way it sounds and looks
@Ekua-come to think of it, it does have a nice rhythm to it with the two aspirated “t’s”, doesn’t it?
