Kayaking in Tigre

Tigre…the city of many streams/rivers…the place with water taxis…and my Saturday’s destination. Even a good portion of my Liquid Bar family came along which was great because I finally didn’t travel alone. LOL!

With my phone’s earsplitting wakeup call, I was ready to go by 8 am. The plan was to have our group of six meet at the estacion lisandro de la torre to take the Mitre Tren to Tigre. With a travel time of about an hour and a cost of $1.80 pesos, I was able to experience my first commuter train ride.

1/2 Kilo of Helado...GONE!

During one of the many times watching YouTube videos at our cooking events, we’ve ran across this video for Fridays. As Rebecca Black would state, “It’s Friday, Friday…Gotta get down on Friday.” (If you haven’t seen it…check out the video because I can't believe it has 57 million views. It leaves you with an expression of, "Really?"LOL)

Living like a King

As a consequence of a great time last night, I was a little sluggish this morning.

Working on a blog post for the video productions company, I learned all there is to know about budgeting for a product explainer video. Did you know: it typically costs between $2,000 and $4,000 per finished minute for an explainer video? No? Well, now you do! LOL!

A Few of Many Work Conversations

While Iowa was experiencing heat index numbers in the 100s, I was working with the office windows open!

After a chilly start to the week, it looks like the end of the week will be flawless. With temperatures in the low 70s, sunny, and a slight breeze, Buenos Aires begins to tease me with a taste of the spring weather I will be missing.

Sweet Tooth...Eliminated!

Snoozing my alarm was not an option. I had to be at the office a little before 11am today because our other newbie, Shelly, was scheduled to start.

First on my list was to show her how to fill in the monthly batching document. I gave her guidelines and tips that would make the process easier. Being a visual learner myself, when I train others I train them visually as well. I walked her through the previous month's batching document so she could have a better grasp on what I was talking about. In every job I’ve had I always ended up training people; hopefully, it attests my communication abilities. LOL!

Yucca or YUCKa?

Devoting a little of my work time in the morning for finishing Saturday’s post, it was ready to be published. When you pack your days full, the time you have available to spend on other things (like your blog) dwindles away. However, I have yet to miss a day of blogging about my adventure, so I can’t stop now.

When Katie arrived, we talked about our weekends and then about business. I told her how someday I would enjoy operating my own company. (Hey, everyone can dream and have ambitions, right? LOL!) We then went into brainstorming ideas that would thrive in a small town. It was a great conversation because it’s a topic interesting to me.

Souvenir Shopping? Pssh...Fail!

It was another busy day in Buenos Aires, folks! There were two major items on my agenda; souvenir shopping and visiting the August Underground Market.

My day started off in front of the computer looking at Omnilineas.com mapping out the bus lines for my adventures. Today’s excursion involved making four bus connections; the most I’ve ever done in one day.
