Revolutionary downtime

Chávez slips the bellboy a tenspot and

where he wants the bags left

Even figureheads of rrrrrrrrrrevolutions need quiet moments, so Hugo Chávez is going is chill down in Argentina for a cupla days this weekend. First he flies into Buenos Aires today and does presidenty things with Klishtina, then they and their families (Hugo has his daughters tagging along) hightail it down to deepest Patagonia for a long weekend. They'll all be staying at El Calafate, a town that the Kirchners have made their own and converted into a snooty tourist trap.
