I arrived in Bariloche yesterday after a 17 hour bus ride from Mendoza, and it was worth the journey. This area of Argentina is stunning. It´s called the Lake District, but the mountains and forests make it look like Yosemite. Bariloche is a little resort town, and while a bit commercial, is a great place to hang out for a day or two before heading up into mountains to do some hiking.
Anyway, I got word on gmail yesterday to call in to the Navy detailer in Tennessee about my first duty station. As a result, I learned in an internet phone booth in Argentina that my first assignment will be Jacksonville, Florida. I report in March, 2008 after I finish Naval Justice School in Newport, RI. I´m really looking forward to it. It´s meant to be a great office, and the base is the third biggest in the Navy (after Norfolk, VA and San Diego) so there should be a lot of good work.
That´s the news of the day. I hope everyone´s well, and staying dry after the massive storm in WA. Nos vemos.

Beaches without rocks and barnacles and with lots of sunshine. I think you'll like Jax!
What's the feral dog situation like in Argentina?
Do they sell Mace? cattle prods? swords? Please be careful.
