Buenos Aires this morning...

Had an uneventful flight here from Seattle. Minus the 45 minute delay due to one super tall passenger not being able to fit in his seat, and another tiny passenger not wanting to give up her massive seat, we all got here with luggage and piece of mind.

It is always fun stepping off the plane and into a new culture. It was interesting enough when I returned home to Washington from a little over a month in California. That was just a climate change. Here in Argentina it is Spring rather than fall, and other than the obvious language differences, I am looking forward to getting more into things here. I will be down in the southern hemisphere for about six weeks, so I should get to see some things.

I am settled into the hotel and going to head out on the streets to see what is around. Tomorrow night we are heading to a soccer match so I am psyched about that. I know some of you at home are watching this with bated breath, so I will try to stay up on the old blog as much as possible...

Fall in Cali

I have been loving life down here in Northern California. Had a great trip with Brian down on Whitney when I first got down here. Since then I have been climbing around Tahoe and skydiving at Lodi and trying to Base jump as much as possible. The weather is starting to roll in though, and winter is in the air. My time down here is also starting to run short. I will spend one more weekend in Lodi then head to Yosemite to have some fun before returning home. I have a plane to South America to catch on the 30th and two expeditions to pack for before that!

If you want to check out pretty rad website, check out Baffinbase.com. It is trip that is going next season and is sure to be amazing! I am still wrapping my head around the idea that I get to go to both polar circles this season!
