« Return to Finish the Sentence    « Return to Argentina

My Spanish is improving, I can now string a sentence together, like “I am monkey prime-rib blue excellent river plate!” So thanks as always to those of all nationalities twisting their tongues in Ingles for our enjoyment. I’ve added country codes for anyone not living in Argentina.

  • Shamans and Guinea Pigs in Ecuador

    It’s folly to spend just one week in a country as diverse as Ecuador, but what the hell! Shamans and guinea pigs, iguanas, bus parties, 300-year old haciendas, volcanic craters - I don’t get to the Galapagos, but between Otavalo, Quito and Gauyaquil, there’s plenty to keep me busy.

  • Science Fiction in Star City

    Returning to Russia, I get an exclusive glimpse into the reality of modern space travel, visiting the Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, poking my head into real life rocket shipx.
