This is as close as I can get to a good pastrami sandwich in Buenos Aires

There’s more mayo on this thing than pastrami, but it’s not bad.
Does this heart-shaped chicken fried rice show my wife I love her?
The chef at Benihana was helping me out:




This is my very conservative office’s way of going nuts for the World Cup ;-)
I think this is more than they did for Christmas & the recent Argentine Bicentennial. ;-)
Soccer is really big here. You should see the excitement outside the office.


This is how we buy candy in Buenos Aires. Seriously.

That’s Olivia trying to buy a 5 cent piece of candy. Every kiosk makes you shop from outside the store and behind a locked gate.
We use this to make pizza at home in Buenos Aires
We make pizza at home because delivery pizza is awful here.
But who needs delivery when the bakeries sell pizza bread?! We toss some sauce and cheese on it, plus lots of veggies and it’s (almost) like being at home.
The one below is a small. Olivia got us a big pie, but I wanted even more.

Nobody eats spicy food in Argentina, so I had to buy this for my office
Louisiana Gold is the only hot sauce I could find in this country’s supermarkets. I never saw it in the US, but it’s not bad.
The only hot sauce you could get at restaurants here (if they have any at all) is Tabasco, which is spicy, but doesn’t have much flavor.

I Finally Finished A 20-Mile Run In Buenos Aires. I’m Ready For The Marathon!
Random facts about my running:
- On my last 2 training runs, I hurt so badly that I had to jump in a cab at the end. ;-)
- I’ve done 4 or 5 marathons in the US
- Marathons are 26.2 miles. I’m noticing that people who do 5-mile runs are suddenly calling what they do “marathons.” Earn the tittle before you wear it, people. ;-)
- I’m working on my goal of doing a marathon in every continent. S. America is coming soon.
- I haven’t trained nearly enough for this marathon. I don’t care.
- My feet are in serious pain. I should have switched to new sneakers, but it might too late now. I’ll just live with it.
