New Blogs: ...take the ride.

It was a January 6th post by food pilgrim Layne Mosler of Go Where the Taxista Takes You that first caught my eye ...then I was reminded of her last night after stumbling upon an old NPR story.

"I'm a freelance food writer based in Buenos Aires. Every week, I hop in a taxi, ask the driver to take me to his favorite place to eat, and chronicle my adventures (culinary and otherwise). As the food columnist for South American Explorer and a regular contributor to Time Out Buenos Aires, I'm always searching for a great meal."

She's in Northern California right now but intends to be back in Baires any day now.

Give her some encouragement ...I'm drooling for a new post from Layne.

New Blogs: Every Day in BA

Rick Powell is a recently arrived gay expat whose upbringing (Indiana via 14 years in Chicago) parallels my own. I remember exchanging a few emails with Rick prior to his move here from Prague.

He's an experienced Prague blogger and his take on our own expat mecca can't help but be interesting.

Every Day in BA! Stop by his new blog. See you there.

New Blogs: The Argentina Gringo

The Argentina Gringo is a great start-up that gives his own opinions about the issues of the day here among us expats.

Keep an eye on him and lemme know how those opinions jive with yours.

New Blogs: Esplendor y Miseria

Annie hasn't posted since New Year's Eve ...but Esplendor y Miseria has been at it since July. Lots of content from the perspective of a woman that has lived a full life ...and is now beginning another.

One to watch ...make sure that you give her some encouragement for 2009 posts.

New Blogs: Seashells and Sunflowers

The first in a series... of new blogs that we expats should be looking at in 2009.

I chose Seashells and Sunflowers as the first because it is very expat and not from Buenos Aires Capital. Well, that and (full disclosure) she was brought to my attention by her quoting a post I made from 2006.

That having been said, the blog is by a young US woman living in the lovely coastal town of Necochea Argentina ...where both sunflowers and seashells are emblematic of the surroundings.

It's not easy being an expat ...and being an expat outside of Capital has its own special challenges. Please give Katie a look and send her the kind of encouragement that all of us here in similar shoes should.
