Acquaintences

In the Bolivia mine tour of Potosí we met two porteños from Buenos Aires capital and kept in touch with them through facebook.com, Omar and Marcelo.

We actually met up with them the evening before leaving for Ushuaia and they were our 'guias' so to speak, and brought us to the Casa Rosada, or the Pink House, where the Presidenta does business meetings and works. We went to la Boca, a colorful part of BA close to the water, with lots of art. We finished by eating some pasta and making plans for a cook-out when Bonnie and I return to BA for our flight home.

It'll be a blast. Marcelo is a musician in his early 40s and very talkative and informative. Omar is a sweetheart and knows everything about Patagonia, so we enjoyed getting some travel plans from him.
