There really is a duende!

Here we are in lovely Buenos Aires in the San Telmo neighborhood famous for its cobblestone streets, art scene and tango. We've now been in BA for almost 2 weeks and some of the shine is off the rose. Though still beautiful, you need to keep your eyes on the sidewalk lest you trample through one of the many piles of doggy-poo that appear under foot without warning. We're talking world class amounts of poo here.

On a similar note, we are in the euro-influenced world of smokers. People still think it's cool here at least for a few more years. Remember smoking sections in restaurants? Mmmmm, hmmmm. Cough, cough.
All you smokers suck!!!

Rob -- True dat!
I am just accustomed to the zero-smoke situation of my country of origin -- the Empire of California. Guess I should get used to the smoke as there are smoking bastards all over Oregon.
cough, Don

The deep south is the smoking section of the US, really more of a patriotic duty than a disgusting habit, and in the red-neck riveria the beaches are just enormous ash trays. Being used to california beaches I'll never forget how disgusted I was seeing people smoke on the beach in Florida.
