About Me
- hal
- Austin, Texas, United States
- Born and raised in San Antonio, TX, college educated in Vermont, I lived in Seoul, South Korea, in 2005 and 2006 and traveled extensively in Asia during that time. Most of 2009 was spent in South America, volunteering and failing to gain fluency in Spanish. Loved the mountains, though. Now I'm back where I started: south-central TX. Oh, and I edit Matador Trips.

Beautiful!
Hal-
Wow- these totally made me want to go to Buenos Aires. And I'm way behind on blog reading, but I've loved all your recent posts, especially the history of your pants' rip and the photo of the tree.
Love it!
Purdy purdy. And they're not even photoshopped. :)
Wow! Beautiful!
Are these yours? Beautiful!
