Buenos Aires, Argentina

Not a ton to report from BA. Sight seeing is limited but we did have some great meals mostly thanks to recs from our friend Conrad. Particularly the empanadas at Cumana and dinner at Casa Cruz. Also had the requisite meal at La Cabrera although we were honestly a little disappointed -- steaks at almost any Dallas steakhouse are better (albeit 3-4x the cost).

Kenny's swollen right ankle (top of picture) due to some Sand Fleas she picked up at Machu Picchu. Great souvenir. Thanks for the steroid cream, mom.


Recoleta Cemetary. Best sight seeing in BA. Really quite incredible to see the size of these graves.


Recloeta or the Chanel Store?


Evita's tomb at Recoleta. Delay in BA airport gave us time to watch the movie. Interesting fact: the balcony that Evita used to give speeches from at Casa Rosada has been strictly off limits to anyone since she died until Madona convinced the President to let her film the movie from the spot.


Magnum of champagne at club Isabel after a great dinner at Casa Cruz. We met up with a friend from UT, Caroyln (on left) and her sister Julia (on right) for dinner and drinks. They were also visiting BA for the week so was fun to have people to meet for dinner.


A dog rode the BA metro with us one day. Funniest thing. He'd lay down and sleep between each stop, then when the doors open he'd get up and look around as if he were deciding which stop to exit at. He never got off while we were one.





Dinner at La Cabrera. Kenny with her wine and me with our steak.

When we finally get out of the airport we're off to Santiago. A day of sightseeing there tomorrow then we head 4 hrs south to the Colchaga Valley to visit a few vineyards and drink some vino.
