Buenos Aires

Bonnie and I have been in Buenos Aires for a total of 2 days, and it is LOVELY.



This is the 'Paris of South America.'



We are in a touristy hostel (Hostel Suites, Hostelling International) downtown on Avenida Florida, which is a pedestrian street lined with boutique stores and vendors of trinkets in the middle of the street with their wares.



We went to a Cementerio de la Recoleta yesterday, which has giant statues and many coffins... We even found Evita Peron's resting site (just follow the tour crowds!!).

*Eva was the stellar first lady of Argentina once upon a time



Our plans keep changing, but as of now we have a flight to Ushuaia (on a map, this is the TIP of South America) on Sunday and will be busing up Route 40 all the way to Bariloche and seeing several outstanding national parks and continuing to Mendoza, where we will complete the triangle and return to Buenos Aires in time for a flight back to the US Apri 11.



Due to not knowing anything about the technology availability to come, I am unsure how frequent updates will be. Maybe more frequent. Probably not.
