Day 8 - 04.30.12
I did not feel so well this morning. I think I have the argentine bird flu. also my voice is gone, hopefully jfd won’t mind singing on his own. I went to the pharmacy to hopefully get some Afrin, but I settled for the generic version. I film a lot and sometimes I hide the camera to either get good shots or to not disturb the locals. I must be giving off some vibe or body language that...

Day 7 - 04.29.12
Sunday. Tired today. Lots of work. Nothing really to report. We waited until dinner to eat (which seems to be the norm down here), and ended up getting indian again, somewhere different this time. We’re drinking a lot of Coca-Cola down here, and I can’t really explain why. I don’t really ever drink it at home. I think for some reason it reminds us of home and so we just keep...

Day 6 - 04.28.12
Yesterday was the longest day yet. We just woke up..
The day started with a storm. It rained just about all day. Shortly after waking up, we realized that we had nowhere to stay later that night, and for some reason we assumed it would all work out. There is a national holiday on monday and so most all places are booked saturday night. Anyway, we had to do some busy work for awhile on our...

Day 5 - 04.27.12
Friday morning we woke up to about 100 dogs having a battle royale over some scraps in the park. We can’t tell if they’re strays or if people just let their dogs wander the city. Either way, those mangy mutts love to bark in unison. Today I finally went to the lavanderia to wash my clothes. The lady who runs this joint speaks zero english and was laughing at me the entire time as I...
Day 4 - 04.26.12
Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head.
This morning, John thought he recognized a girl on the street but decided he was probably wrong. Later in the day we ran into her again and he realized, she indeed was a friend from college. They split digits and we went on with our day. We wanted to do separate things, so John and I each wandered the city alone. John came back to the...

Day 3 - 04.25.12
Our first morning in Buenos Aires, I am woken in a frenzy to get that last free croissant and coffee before “breakfast” ends at the place we’re staying. Jd and I had nothing planned for the day except to get some work done at the local cafe that has exceptional wifi. We found ourselves wandering the city again for a couple of hours, checking out shops and parks and being...
Day 2 - 04.24.12
Johnny showed up a couple hours after I did and we walked around Palermo, in and out of local shops until we sat down for a late lunch. We ate at place called Marks’s that served us a couple sandwiches de miga. They were delicious. Not many people speak English and so our conversations are pretty comical. They usually last for about 30 seconds until i blurt out…”uhh no hablo...
Day 1 - 04.23.12
On the road again…and in the air.
Day 1 was a longgg day for both of us. To start off…John and I were on different flights, connecting in different countries, and landing at different times in Buenos Aires. All and all, we couldn’t have been more excited for this adventure to begin. Here’s the start to our story.
My day started at Yuki “king of sound”...
