I was fortunate to see a Boca-River game, in Mendoza (part of a special summer tournament). The Mendoza stadium is smaller than in Buenos Aires but it was still an electric environment and good experience. Especially fortunate since the next season River was relegated to second division.

Being the world famous home of Tango, it only makes sense that the World Tango Championship was held here in August 2011. My roommate mentioned to me that tickets to the semi-final and final were available one day only and were free. I wanted to go earlier in the day but apparently the line was incredibly long so instead I went to see one of … [ Read more ]

P1010209 150x150 - Paragliding (Parapente) in San Gil, Colombia
