    Interesting piece on Puerto Madryn. As I told Roy, I'd heard of the place mostly in the context of its preservation of Welsh language and culture, but this provided some nice rounding-out. Roy tells me he'll be covering the Cymru angle in upcoming post(s).

    Argentina legalizes same-sex marriage, making this destination already popular
