Guess what?! Because I am such a travel-nerd...
I bought 2 books about Argentina last week!!! And one of them came in the mail yesterday. Yay!
Yes I did, in fact, buy 2 books about a country that I suddenly got the urge to visit, though who knows when I will ever get to do so.
Just wanted to share my excitement. And slight nerdiness. The end. =)

Bailamos!
Si! Estoy hablando en espanol. 
Whyyy, you may wonder? Argentina-- THAT's why. So this week my fascination is with Argentina and Spanish speaking cultures in general.
Reason 1: I speak Spanish. Barely. But I'm also currently taking a Spanish class, so that helps.
Reason 2: This is where the dance, the 'Tango', originated. I LOVE dancing. Not trashy dancing, mind you, but swing-waltz-foxtrot-mambo-tango-(ish) dancing.

Reason 3: The brand 'Patagonia'apparently got its name from a region in Argentina (and Chile). And that's just plain cool. And mountainous, actually.
What I want is a list of local recommendations and a week of wondering though the streets and culture, listening to the language, and NOT in a hurry to go anywhere or do something.
