¡Hola amigos!

Jeff and I have made our way to lovely Buenos Aires. Months ago I told Jeff that I was going to totally unplug during our honeymoon. We have been here about 30 hours and I am already blogging (after checking email and facebook). I like to think of it as foreplay.

All along, we planned for the first few days in Buenos Aires to be centered around recuperating from the wedding and so far we are on schedule. We are on the two-nap-a-day plan and don´t intend to get off it any time soon. We have had plenty of red meat and ice cream to go with our sleep.

When we are not watching Ellen in spanish, we invested in an Argentine game called Rapigrama that is a cross between scrabble and boggle. So far, I have kicked Jeff´s ass. OK, it was only by one point. But in Argentina, that is a real ass-kicking (with the beneficial exchange rate, and all...)

Tomorrow night we see a Tango show, so we may be out late. So it may need to be a three nap day.

No one told me that wedding nightmares intensified after a wedding. So far, I have had 3 wedding nightmares. Most of them center around my unresolved hatred for my largely ineffective wedding coordinators. Then again, I guess if you sleep half the day, you increase your chances for nightmares. Needless to say, I am still processing the wedding and all its many, many facets.

Another plug for facebook is that many of our pictures are posted there, so feel free to check them out.

Not sure when the next post will come because we are headed to the wilderness of Iguazu Falls and then on to Patagonia, which is pretty much the end of the earth. We expect daytime to last until at least 10pm. Here in Buenos Aires, it is light out well past 9pm. Naps are assisted by thick curtains.

I am doing a good job of being a wife. And following seven paces behind Jeff at all times, but really, that is because I am insisting on wearing sandals that are hard to walk in.

Not So Fast....

Yes, it's true, we had our fabulous wedding and now I one Mrs. Jeffrey Ellis! But you aren't getting rid of me that fast. The BWJ staff just declared that this blog will continue for the chronicle of my first year of marriage. It's going to take more than a marriage license, a hora, and a new last name to conquer Bridled With Joy. I have a feeling there are many blog-worthy events coming down the Ellis pipeline. You'll have to check back on December 15, after the honeymoon on the pampas, to see what the next chapter holds.

Bon Voyage!!!
