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.

Rather, as I started contemplating my lengthy travels in Central and South America, I started hearing about Ushuaia, the “end of the world.” Then I started to hear … [ Read more ]

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.
