PLAN B

That wily Chilean Volcán Puyehue is still acting up...the enormous ash cloud it vomited over the Andes that has devastated southern towns in Argentina and stymied travelers for weeks is interrupting air travel again!  My good friend Chiara is here for a visit, and tonight our flight to the north province of Misiones was cancelled.  Both the domestic and international airports of Buenos Aires are closed.  Thank goodness Chiara was able to arrive safely and without delay yesterday from the U.K.!  After adjusting our tickets at the airport so that we can hopefully travel tomorrow, we jumped into a taxi cab to drop our bags at home and to devise tonight's Plan B. The driver was taking his own Plan B-alternate route to my neighborhood because the highway was cut-off by protesters (again).

Oh...Argentina.

What's Plan B? you might be wondering?  To go downtown and watch on TV the national team play Bolivia in its first-round match of the Copa América, of course.  Messi and Tevez are both starting.  

Happy weekend, everyone!
