Talk About Tennis 2.0

Congrats! Looking for some oil?

Doing the initial seismic exploration, to map an area offshore. Lots of protests and lawsuits against the project(s), and we are now being shadowed by a Greenpeace vessel which may try tactics against us, but yes, eventually their might be some drilling.
In the meantime, Argentina is suffering gasoline shortages in the provinces. It is all very confusing.
We sail on...

I think it was TAT Tailgate?

I feel like that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Canada.

We like the country (people friendly, climate good, Iguazu falls stunning), but I'm sorry to say local food sucks. I'm no vegetarian, but I can't eat meat like they do.

Tomorrow off to Salta and Andies.

This is supposed to be the government that wants to tackle climate change where as the Alberta provincial government doesn't want to.

"Canada is the only G7 country that has not achieved any emissions reductions since 1990," Jerry DeMarco, commissioner of the environment and sustainable development, told reporters Tuesday.

I know you are spending a lot of time outside the main cities but there's plenty of non-Argentinian cuisine in the cities if you don't want the meat.

Argie cuisine has never been one to write home about. But in the cities you can get any variation. Especially in BA.

We're having better luck in Jujuy province. If you like strange geological formations this province is for you. Reminds somewhat American Southwest (perhaps northern Mexico too) with lots of cacti. We drove as high as 4100 m today.

We mostly avoid big cities, albeit in this case few days in BA for practical reasons

Photos. Without the photos, we can't get the full picture

I just don't know what's the best way to attach them...

Saw a heard of vicuna's today.
