Now in Argentina. Buenos Aires. Flew in on a 10.5 hour redeye and have fallen out of favor with the Upgrade Gods, so I did it in the back of the plane. I thought it would be far worse than it was, but I had dinner before I left for the airport, and I guess I'm getting used to sleeping sitting up. Or something. I guess it keeps one appreciative of the upgrade blessings that befall thee....

It turns out the internal airline is on strike, so we're had a charter to take us to Cordoba, my final destination. 12 seat two engine turboprop. Very bouncy. I never knew clouds were so hard. At one point, the pilot seemed to be reenacting a WWII dogfight he was twisting and dodging the clouds so fast.

I'm here actually on actual business helping to hire the first few people for the new Intel Córdoba Lab. This is awfully fun - it's amazing how effective and efficient this team is. I hope I can keep up.

(Córdoba at night. Ok, it's a crappy picture. I'll have something better tomorrow during the day.)
