The Honeymoon Period Continues...

On the flight to Buenos Aires, we sat near an old man who grew up in Buenos Aires but who had lived recently in Seattle. He was telling us that if he came back to Buenos Aires for more than a week, he began to "freak out" because of the filth and the craziness of the city. When he saw a look of concern cross Jess and my face... he quickly clarified: "But you will love it!"

And he's right. The great thing about travel is that it gives you a different perspective on things that might otherwise be bothersome. The other day I was being chased at 4:30am by a pack of transvestite prostitutes yelling "I wanna be sexy with you." Normally I would have been threatened by this, but at the time all I could think was "My! This is different."
