#WhiteHistoryMonth: How Unexpected

By
Dan Moshenberg

From this week’s Washington Post Travel Section:

How unexpected: There was more modernity than I expected, such as extremely modern infrastructure (roads, etc.) in many places, although there is still poverty there. Also, the rate of exchange, coupled with the reasonable prices, meant that meals (and wine) were a fraction of what they are here in the United States. The quality of the beef was outstanding — and we’ve tasted beef from Argentina, Brazil, Chicago, etc. This was the best!

How unexpected. Roads.
