Today we were lucky enough to experience one of Rio DeJanieroīs most famous entertainments. We were mugged. It all started innocently enough: A trip to the modern art gallery, a walk down to the small park below, a few minutes...Off the RoadMihai2004-02-18T13:54:57-08:00Brazil : Flamengo vs Vasco

http://www.mihaiwilson.com/archives/#000043
Everything was easy about our jump from Argentina to Brazil. Everything that was except for the language. All of the sudden we couldnīt make out a word, not even a syllable. What the hell were these people saying? They sounded...Off the RoadMihai2004-02-16T11:54:02-08:00Argentina : Iguazu Falls
http://www.mihaiwilson.com/archives/#000042
A luxurious 16 hour bus ride north of Buenos Aires is the other-worldly Iguazu falls. These enormous falls are set amongst a lush green jungle full of birds, lizards, insects and funny little wooly striped-tailed animals called Coatis. It felt...Off the RoadMihai2004-02-15T06:52:47-08:00Argentina : Whats that thing?

http://www.mihaiwilson.com/archives/#000039
So after our jaunt to the south we were back to the big Bs. As. (at least thats what they call it here). Summer holidays had come to a close for most people, and the streets were packed. The weather...Off the RoadMihai2004-02-04T12:03:26-08:00Argentina : Puerto Madryn
http://www.mihaiwilson.com/archives/#000038
As some of you might not know, January and Febuary are the summer holiday months down here in the southern hemisphere. Madryn was our first experience of Argentine beach-life. We were unwittingly stuck there for 3 days, but it was...Off the RoadMihai2004-02-04T11:02:31-08:00Argentina : Comodoro Rivadavia
http://www.mihaiwilson.com/archives/#000037
Comodoro was really just a waypoint for us on our treck back up towards the North of Argentina and Buenos Aires. We didnīt expect to find much there. We were lucky though. It just so happened that on the...Off the RoadMihai2004-01-26T14:18:50-08:00Argentina : El Calafate
http://www.mihaiwilson.com/archives/#000036
Although El Calafate town is not so special of a place, the nearby Perito Moreno glacier certainly is. This glacier, that is fed from the Andean Ice-cap, spreads over 258 km and its face is over 60 meters high. The...Off the RoadMihai2004-01-22T10:30:28-08:00Chile : Punta Arenas
http://www.mihaiwilson.com/archives/#000035
The main reason for going to Punta Arenas in Chile was to pick up a digital camera that my father and sister (bless their hearts) sent down to me. We really didnīt know what to expect in Chile, but we...Off the RoadMihai2004-01-22T10:03:40-08:00Argentina : Ushsuaia
http://www.mihaiwilson.com/archives/#000034
Although it isnīt technically true, Ushsuaia claims to be the southern-most city in the world. Unfortunately for them, a small Chilean naval settlement rests just a little closer to Antarctica. I suppose they could claim to be the "Southern-most city...Off the RoadMihai2004-01-22T09:46:17-08:00Argentina : Buenos Aires Part 3

Buenos Aires is an easy place to write about. So easy that I could go on for ages, so Ill try and keep it a lid on it. So there we were, in the center of a massive, thriving city....Off the RoadMihai2004-01-16T08:33:27-08:00
