Buenos Aires

Hola!

Hank and I write to you from Argentina where we have spent the last few days enjoying some familiar faces. Abe and Mone were extremely fun to hang out with before they left for their REI honeymoon trek through Patagonia. While they were in Buenos Aires with us we did a lot of walking through the city checking out the very European town. Buenos Aires is so different from Peru in that it is a modern, large city where shopping and dining are the major attractions. It has been so different from Peru in that we left old world, trekking and stepped into trendy, modern cappuccino and croissant nibbling B.A. It feels like we have time traveled.

Some of the highlights have been visiting La Recoleta cemetery where we visited Evita's grave, checking out the world's second largest bookstore, going to a nightclub and watching the tango dancers, an antique fair and checking out a modern art piece, Floralis Generica, a flower that opens and closes with the day.

We are pretty well exhausted at this leg of the journey with only two weeks left. We are finding that the things on out must-see list are much longer than our time and money will allow. Plus, we really just need to sit on a beach.

The pictures Hank chose for this blog include two from Machu Pichu- just because it was such an amazing place. We are working on some of the other photos from B.A. and will post those later. The other two pics are with Abe and Mone trying to decide where to eat lunch. Empanadas are yummy! Can you find the tourists? Lastly, the angels are from La Recoleta.

Hope you enjoy! We are looking forward to seeing everyone very soon! Please leave us some messages because we miss you....

XOXO- H&D
