Is anybody out there?

Is anybody reading this blog anymore? It's been quiet on the comments side of things so make some noise! Let's get this party started! Or as the lovely Anna would say, "Let's start this party starting!"
We have arrived in Buenos Aires and the party has started. We rented an apartment near Parque Retiro, their version of Central Park NYC, in this really nice neighborhood called Palermo. Yes, Italian-inspired and very european. No pan flutes! The people are wonderful, the food is incredible (ahhhh, the steaks, mmmmm), and the wine is awesome. Everything is very affordable so we are living like kings and queens. Every night it's thick steaks, boquerones (fresh sardines), tiramisu or flan, a bottle of fine wine, and espressos for like $30 in total. We had to join a gym, seriously!, so as not to double our weight in the month that we are in BsAs.

I'm still reading, just too jealous to comment! The girls were talking about little Donnie yesterday since we went biking they were having flashbacks. Enjoy Argentina and don't clog a colon or anything!

I'm reading too! Hi Mau and Don! It's Kelly Nesbit! In fact, i'm so addicted to your blog, i must check in at least once a week just to improve my nightly dream world! I'm so grateful to share from afar, your AMAZING/INCREDIBLE journey! Brigid suggested Chris and I take the foreign service exam just so i can see a miniscule (sp??) of what you've experienced! Keep sharing, PLEASE! Cheers in NC--Kelly Nesbit

Your blog helped inspire my trip to Peru next month. And my mom is now heading to Peru tomorrow.

Thanks for the great photos. I've shown your blog to friends and colleagues to give them an idea of where we're going. Keep it up and keep enjoying your travels.

Oh my gosh! i have been so busy in the past month. I checked the blog just after the walking palm tree story was put on, because I just got back from vacation and I had missed it in a week or two and then you guys were in the jungle and all, then I got the montezumas revenge here in Berekely and I was in bed (yes montezuma and I were in bed together)for quite a few days and I didn't even go to work (which I am not complaining about) but I was pretty darn sick. And now I am feeling guilty that you guys feel like no one's out here, but we are, I am, I miss you two and I love your blog; for now it's saving me a plane ticket to south america (that and trying to pay a painting contracter to paint my house). Okay. So keep up the blog. And watch out for MonteZuma!
love, Belinda
(And PS. I am glad rene finally got hooked up, because I hardly see her and dont' get a chance to update her anymore).
