Let’s see some whales

Tomorrow we are going on a little holiday! We are catching a bus at 20.15 in the evening and then 20 hours later (yes, 20!) we’ll be in Trelew in Patagonia. Vlad and David are also going, but they are flying! He He. It’s a luxury bus and I believe very comfortable so I’m rather looking forward to it!
The rough plan is as follows: two full days in Trelew, visiting the Welsh villages and then some whale watching. Then Vlad and David head off to El Calafate and Chris and start making our way back to BA. We are planning on checking out some of the beach towns along the coast, ending up in Mar del Plata (I don’t really know what to expect, but I’m thinking something like Blackpool). We’ll be back in BA in a week, when he head off to Rio! I’m not taking my laptop so blogging might be tricky but I’ll do my best to keep posting while I’m away. And of course I’ll be taking lots of pictures too.

It has some interesting quotes in it, and two in particular caught my attention and gave me pause for thought. You can't be a capitalist only when there are investment profits but then a socialist when you experience losses. and We're not averse to capitalism. But if they used to say, "Workers of the world unite!" then we also say today, "Capitalists of the world, assume your social responsibility!" I'm intrigued by both of these ideas. The former mainly because I it reminds me of the UK government bailing out failing mortgage lender Northern Rock earlier in the year and the recent US

Ølsen in Buenos Aires

Well Ølsen last night was great. It's in a stunning old warehouse with extremely tall ceilings and Scandinavian simplicity. The garden is a particular treat and a delight to enjoy when arriving. The food was good, although I wouldn't say that best and possibly not worth the price, it's not cheap, but the sharing starters with mini vodka shots were very good. After Ølsen, I came home and watched telly. I seem to becoming nocturnal.
