A dip into the #travel archive from on this day eight years ago. On that particular February 29th we'd just arrived in #BuenosAires and been escorted to the ship we'd be spending the next few weeks on, and as we were on an overnight flight we were aboard early, before most other passengers had arrived in #Argentina, having the ship mostly to ourselves. We would spend the following day exploring Buenos Aires and it was an incredible city.
Meanwhile in #Argentina, the so-called "libertarian" president Javier Milei just banned gender-neutral and feminist language (-e, -x) in all official communications of the federal government.
This applies also to Argentina's public broadcasters and federally-run cultural institutions such as Telam, RNA, CCK and Tecnopolis.
This follows his recent decree to abolish #INADI (National Institute against Discrimination, Racism and Xenophobia), the anti-discrimination enforcement agency.
Located on the vast plain known as the Pampa Amarilla (yellow prairie) in western Argentina, this hybrid detector employs independent methods to detect and study the highest-energy cosmic rays.
Its 1,660 water surface detector tanks, separated from each of its neighbors by 1.5 kilometers, cover about 3,000 km2 of the Pampa.
The #CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup is starting up tonight. #Mexico vs #Argentina currently on, then #USWNT vs #DominicanRepublic at 10:15pm ET. You can watch on Paramount+ if you haven't canceled your #NWSL subscriptions already
First night in Buenos Aires done. Adjusting to summer temperature and humidity.
Never been in South America before, really looking forward to the next three weeks. 10 days of Tango classes and Milongas ahead to start the holidays, then traveling to the mountains and finally the falls at Iguazu.
