Bienvenidos!

"You should start a blog!" everyone said as we packed our bags for Argentina.
"Well I guess so, we will be in a new country," replied Elana
"We won't have to send out the same email 50 times," thought Jill

We've been living in Buenos Aires for just over a month and neither a blog nor emails have been written.

Woopsie daisies...we've been distracted. But lucky for you, February is rainy season and we're all caught up on American Idol, so we figured it's time to blog.


This won’t be a typical blog, because we’re not "typical" girls. While most expats would brag about dancing at discotecas till 9 in the morning, the enormously sized cheap beers and the juiciest steaks they ever devoured for just 10 U$D, we won't be. Instead you’ll be hearing about vegetarian buffets, stray dogs and their droppings found around the city, drum circles, subtitles, cafes, fruit markets, our search for cafĂ© frio (iced coffee), art ferias, girly craft get togethers, bilingual games of bullshit (the card game), strategies for dealing with machismo, graffiti and the weather.

In other words, WE are the vegetables at the Asado.

P.S: For all you gringos, an Asado is an Argentine BBQ where piles of assorted meats are plated up and served, a few kilos per person…
