We made the 24 hour trip from SF to Argentina in on piece. Taca managed to get our backpacks to BA, however Greg was dissapointed to find his treasure box missing.... containing a knife and various personal effects. The plane was good though, a Airbus A320, take that, Boeing!
On arrival, our host, Sebastian was holding a sign for Alejandra...a first for Greg and I. La classe!
We have then spent the last few days walking and visiting the Casa Rosa, La Boca, San Telmo, Palermo and La Recoleta. Greg and I managed to have a laugh in the middle of dead people in the cementario de Recoleta.
We also ate like gourmands at a well known parillada called La Cabrera. We could not get in unless we shared a table, so we walked in with 3 European Lufthansa arline hosts. We drank 2 bottles of wine and Greg laughed at Alejandra the entire walk home.
The next night we had again the best dinner ever.....which included more meat and morcilla (blood sausage). ¡Delicioso!
Tomorrow we are off to El Tigre to check out the river and see if we can have a swim. It is over 40ºc/100ºf.
It has been wonderful so far, Greg and I are walking around with big smiles on our faces and thankful for this opportunity.
We leave to El Calafate Friday morning and will be away for 2 weeks on a trek. More to come after that!
