We'll assume these beauties are the handiwork of Periscope Correction OLSON did these (thanks Kelly). Can I get a hell yeah for outdoor baseball? See also.
Holidays Unplugged in the Conch Republic
In lieu of gifts, we spent the holidays in the Conch Republic (aka Key West). Wild, weird, scrumptious, haunted, potent, easygoing, musical, tropical and historical. Ideal place to unplug, but if you need a fix there are several Internet cafes on the island.
Argentina's Lanin Volcano & National Park (Pics)
Situated along Lake Lacar near the Chilean border, ice-tipped Lanin Volcano and its lush National Park have to be one of the most beautiful sites in Argentina.
Another Side of Brother Ali
On our way to catch Aquatennial fireworks, we were pleasantly surprised to stumble upon Brother Ali's performance at the One Day In July festival on an otherwise quiet street in Minneapolis' North Loop. We approached from behind the stage.
The 115th Polo Open Championship in Buenos Aires
There are few better ways to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon in Buenos Aires than catching a match at the Campo Argentino de Polo which is located in the Las Cañitas barrio. Much more tranquilo than watching futbol, BA's other favorite sport draws a more genteel audience. Even if you're like me and know nothing about Polo, you'll pick it up pretty easily. Last November, we caught an afternoon contest that was part of the monthlong Polo Open Championships. According to BA Travel Guide, this annual tournament draws the best players in the world. Highly recommended.
Running in Buenos Aires
One of the main reasons I lived in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires was so that I could run in the parks. It was a luxury to have the park system close by. Still, I did get tired of always running the same routes. There aren't that many other options unless you want to take a taxi to the Reserva Ecologica. It's easy to forget how spoiled we runners are in the Twin Cities.
Here are photos from a typical 5-mile loop through the parks. It was pretty calm the day these were taken. No protests, no dancing mascots, and it was too early for the transvestite prostitutes. Just a leisurely jog around the lakes.
More San Telmo Love
Se dice que San Telmo fue el nacimiento de Buenos Aires y el
nacimiento del tango. Cada domingo hay una feria muy grande por todo
de la calle que se llama Defensa. Y Plaza Dorrego, la plaza principal
de San Telmo tiene varios restaurantes y bares con entretenimiento.

Would you buy these?
Mmmmm Barfy Burgers. Snapped in a Buenos Aires supermercado last year.
