So, sadly I have not updated this blog since going to Argentina, having a reception there and then returning to Utah, starting a new job and getting married to my beautiful bride Julieta Miranda on February 18th, 2012. I will add some pictures soon (as there are lots of pretty ones) and will add continued commentary as well as some posts about some of the other trips and visits I made to increase your view of what Argentina is, the people, the place. (It's a unique and beautiful one).
Recently, Argentina's been increasing import restrictions to try and prevent more dollars from leaving the country (inflation is pretty high and spending is high, but growth is pretty good for the most part). Argentina also recently chose to nationalize YPF, a formerly public energy company, privatized and owned by the Spanish company Respol the last decade. So some very interesting economic issues have been going on in and with Argentina. Here's a CNBC article about Europe trying to fight some of Argentina's recent measures. It does not mention Argentina's viewpoint, just Europe's but it shows some of the international controversy about Argentina's political moves.
