|
Hello Reader, 🧭 Where in the World?We’re looking up at the moon to see if we can see that Artemis II crew coming around the bend….and laughing hysterically at several social media posts we've seen calling the whole thing (and the Apollo missions of 50 years ago) a huge hoax. 🧳 Our Latest PostsWe’re happy to share our updated post about visiting Buenos Aires, Argentina. Our recent trip was our third visit to Argentina and our fifth stay in Buenos Aires. So, we’re comfortable offering a bunch of ideas and recommendations for your itinerary. As usual, let us know if you are headed that way; we’re happy to chat about your plans. 🛫 Get Going: Tours We Recommend For YouPlease consider joining our November 2026 trip to Spain, centered on the Elective Study Abroad course, Architecture and Cuisine of Andalucía.

📖 What We're ReadingWhile Kris is transported to the Dominican Republic diaspora reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by Junot Díaz, she’s also reading poetry by Aracelis Girmay. Since we last wrote, Tom has finished three books. First, for his book club, the eminently forgettable Horrorstör about a demon-possessed IKEA knockoff. It reminded him of the old quote by Dorothy Parker: "This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force." Second, he finally got around to reading The Haunting of Hill House, by Shirley Jackson, which is rightfully thought of as a horror genre classic. And third, for a change up, Winter in the Blood, by James Welch, which was recommended recently by Louise Erdrich. The Atlantic called it one of the best American novels of the last 100 years. Short and brilliant. You can see most of the books we recommend in one place at our Amazon book shop. If you'd prefer an alternative to Amazon, there is Alibris.com, where we frequently buy used books, and Bookshop.org, which supports independent booksellers. And, if you're into art books, like we are, check out the catalog at Taschen, the world's foremost publisher of art books. If you buy a book through our links, we make a small commission at no additional cost to you. ❝Travel Quote of the Week❞Only entropy comes easy. – Anton Chekhov Read past editions of our newsletter here.

Hello Reader, “I understand there’s a problem you need made a million times worse?” 🧭 Where in the World? As you know, we usually don't comment on politics here, but US political news events of late have again intruded on the traveling public. It's already affected us personally as the TSA slowdowns caused us to lose our Global Entry privileges (that we've paid for) upon reentry to the United States from Argentina a couple of weeks ago. Also, there have been wide reports of long delays – up...
