8:49 AM PT: Thanks to joanenleon for taking the helm while I handled family issues! I'm back in the saddle and still looking for volunteers for future motherships.
5:50 PM PT: Off to bed... Argentine bedtime comes earlier. Enjoy the LiveBlog... and hope that peaceful demonstrations win the night and that the police manage not to injure anyone in their attempts to make all these damn arrests.
Thu Oct 06, 2011 at 6:01 PM PT: Didn't get a chance to update... will take care of adding additional diaries in the morning. Anyone else who checks in this late, I hope you have a great evening! Sorry night time comes so soon in Argentina. I wish my day could be a couple of hours longer :)
Fri Oct 07, 2011 at 6:10 AM PT: Finally updated all the links. If you feel something is missing, please feel free to send me a private message.
