Where we had a drink and watched Argentinean Life go by
I got everything packed and was ready to go. Since I wasn’t sure of the time that luggage was supposed to be picked up, I brought my suitcase down myself. I decided that I wanted to buy that beer stein that I had seen so I raced out after asking Alex to watch my carry-on. I exchanged money so I could pay for the beer stein in cash and then I couldn’t find the store! I had to race back to the hotel because the bus was scheduled to leave at 10:00 and I didn’t want people waiting for me.
We drove to the airport and on the way, the driver
spotted a condor overhead. Despite the
fact that they are vultures, they look so majestic as they soar on the
thermals. When we got to the airport, at
security, they almost took away my scissors that I use for my knitting, I will have to remember to put them in my
packed bag.
The flight to Buenos Aires was not bad. We were met by our Buenos Aires guide,
Carla. After we checked in and I stored
the appropriate items in the safe, at the recommendation of Alex, I went with
some of the women to the craft market. I
bought two items. After wandering around
for awhile, we sat down at the outdoor café.
I had a Swepes tonic and the other ladies had ice cold beer. We were joined by others later and I wound up
walking back with Mark and Margaret and we had dinner at the place recommended
by Alex. It is a neighborhood restaurant
and I had the cheese ravioli, which was quite good. I had wanted to have ice cream which is
supposed to be quite good here, but I just couldn’t eat any more.
After dinner, I returned to the hotel, where I am
ready to drop!
