I recently seized the opportunity to get out of Buenos Aires for a long holiday weekend, since February 27th is National Flag Day in Argentina.

My Destination: Villa Gesell. Home to quirky lifeguard towers staffed with bored surfer-lifeguards whose main job seemed to be keeping an eye on las chicas.
