20 DISCOVER ARGENTINA

I must admit that I didn’t know much about
Argentina. All I really knew as that there
were Gauchos, a lot of cows, they danced the
tango, drank Malbec wine, and it was where
Evita sang “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina.”

142 CRUISING ON THE DANUBE

Like huge numbers of Americans, I fell in love
with Viking river cruises during PBS com-
mercial breaks. Those savvy TV spots were
dreamily slow, easy, romantic - infused with
delicious dollops of art and culture.

152 CHASING CHAYOTE IN MICHOACÁN

Piles of juicy pork chunks caught my eye as
I strolled in the street in Tzintzuntzan, one
of eight Pueblos Mágicos (Magical Cities) in
Michoacán. The cook alternately hacked away
at big slabs of carnitas and stuffed tortas and
tacos with crisp, succulent meat at his cart.

162 HIGHS & LOWS OF SKING ASPEN

The first time I skied Aspen, way back in the
mid-1970s, lift tickets were around $15 at this
iconic resort in the Rockies. I was a junior at
the University of Colorado, slept in a cozy
sleeping bag on the floor at a friend’s house
during that visit and ate peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches for lunch on the slopes.
