CK Friday Links--Friday April 30, 2010

Greetings from Mendoza, Argentina! I'm here on a brief vacation from Spanish language classes, and am sad to say that after nearly three months in Chile, Laura and I are winding down our stay here (actually, Laura is already home and back working at her job). It's been an absolutely amazing experience--and yes, that includes experiencing one of history's strongest earthquakes.

I'm really looking forward to sharing with readers what I've learned about Chilean food and drink while we've been here. Look for (hopefully several) upcoming posts in the coming weeks and months.

And of course, here's yet another selection of interesting links from around the internet. As always, I welcome your thoughts and your feedback.
