I'm Back Baby!

In those immortal words of Frank Costanza, "I'm back baby!"  Sometimes "they" say the best part of traveling is coming home and although it was a definitely a fun time it is nice to finally sleep in a bed that fits me.  Even though Buenos Aires is not technically my home either, it has become familiar,comfortable and by now, feels like home sweet home to me. 

Apologies to all for such a long absence.  I had limited internet access and did not want to upload all my pics to other stranger computers for the sake of my blog.  All that means, is I have a lot of catching up to do which I promise to do in the coming days.  It's been an adventurous couple of weeks to say the least.  In the last 2 weeks I have:

Starred in my version of Vicky Cristina Buenos Aires (this was before I even left)
Attempted 2 red eye trips on flights that were far too short get anything more than a long siesta
Got to the biggest party in the world and tried to party like it's 1999
My body after the 3rd day not so subtly reminded me that it's actually 2010 and I can't do that anymore. 
Saw fights and amazing athletic feats on the beach resembling some version of soccer (football).
Realized I don't know Portuguese all that well, but that it's fun and rhythmic to hear it spoken.  
Sweated through a 100+ degree day & slept without AC one night.
Met a girl who was mortally terrified of pigeons
Found myself homeless, unslept and frigid for a few hours and was saved by the generosity of strangers. 
Hung out with good friends for tasty meals and fun times.
Thought intensely about trades that can make money.
Saw and danced to some Deep Dish by the water.
Got my butt kicked by a casino, but came back with a vengeance.
Have had one and possibly both parents threaten to disown me (with good reason).

I also heard there was a speech by Tiger but that he was robotic.  That there is some Winter sporting event going on in Vancouver (another Xgames?) but haven't seen any footage yet unfortunately.  I obviously have some catching up to do and pictures to upload.  I will get to it pronto....
