The weekend before last I took a little 3 day/2 night trip over to Ushuaia with some friends to meet other friends. I had a plan of putting together a little travel guide based on notes from previous trips and this one, but I’ve changed my mind for now. So, I’ll just post the observations I noted down on the day after I returned.

I wish that I had more photos to display or perhaps a better selection. A snow storm that moved on a day before left some spectacular scenery. Stupidity and overconfidence got the best of me and my camera’s battery died early the next day after arrival.

3. Cut into thin slices. 1/3 inch (1 cm) thick.

Not disgustingly odd, although that may have crossed my mind at first glance, but more of odd in a curious–I want to try it–way. (An in-law of mine [...]

New design is finally up! Still have a few tweaks to make but the new theme is good to go for the most part. (Link section included, so if you came here wondering why your link is missing, it’ll be back up shortly.) Some things will take a little longer than others, more for cosmetic [...]
