Awwwwwwwwwww Buenos Aires


Well, the adventures in nature may have come to a hault but we have settled nicely into one of the world´s greatest cities. Just as our own optimism has come into fruition, the warmth of a hinting spring has dropped down onto the southern hemisphere for a delightfully comfortable change. We have an amazing hostel, filled with great people, great energy and wonderful views. We sit on the widest street in the world three blocks south of the obelisk, which can be seen from our roof top. People watching, wandering the streets and parks, and just relaxing have been our main activities. The nights are long, the days have been absolutely amazing. Buenos Aires, like any great city, has plenty to see and do. There is shopping, amazing bakeries filled with delicious sugar covered breads, chocolate cakes, empanadas, fruit tarts, empanadas haha. Museums, theaters, parks. Yesterday we snuck to the top a hotel in recoletta to catch a rarely seen view of the city (the photo). For twenty pesos we stuffed our faces with huge steaks and wine like gluttonous gordos for dinner. Good company, good times, and a good way to prepare for a long night of dancing. Today is a new day and the city is sooooo big, i am sure we can find something to do. Frida Kahlo exhibit sounds pretty good. Our only piece of sad news is that the smog has successfully blocked our view of the sky. But since Pluto is no longer a planet, I suppose there is less to look at anyway. Thus until our next journey of opulency.

SA Trekkers; Civil surroundings, gluttonous gordo experiences, and wild dancing. Your fortunes changed bigtime since Andes-Atacama. Could you go back? You deserve the new life. BA experiences sound great. There is much more there to shape you. Stay to it. Cook it, Peel it, or forget it. Dad

I'm sure you know those bakery notes caught my eye! Sounds like wonderful food to go with all your adventures, but will you two fit into your business suits when you get home? As for the bike riding, well what can a mother say....even as a little guy, you always wanted to try everything! Enjoy the rest of your travels. DVDs will come soon, I hope. Love, Marcia
