BTW, How was Argentina? Is their economy any better than it was a couple of years ago? Have any Maté while you were there?

I've always wanted to do an extended tour of South America -- especially Argentina and Brazil.

It´s getting better now, 3 pesos to the dollar. About 2 years ago after the crash it was about 10 to the dollar. The leather products are fantastic, my wife and I have bought several nice jackets and coats for about $100 each. In the US these would easily be about $800 to $1200 each. It´s still the end of summer here, so it´s hot but nice. The Internet Cafe´s are all 1 Peso per hour (about 0.30).
