Buenos Aires

Sad to leave the beautiful mountains and glaciers behind, we flew off to Buenos Aires. Took an early bus ride from El Chalten to El Calafate and caught a 12 noon flight. An amazing sunrise along the way, including our first sighting of the native Guacamos (SP ?) an animal that looks half kangaroo, half deer.
Arriving in Buenos Aires we got major city shock, what a huge city! Also the weather was different, very humid, cloudy and warm, opposite the dry sunny days of the mountains.
We were adventurous and managed to find the right local bus to get us to our hotel. Quite an accomplishment with our luggage, only cost us 50 cents each including the good views. Today we took a city tour, a three hour deal, touching on the major sites. Walking was not an option, too many sore joints and blisters.
In the afternoon we went and visited Eva Peron´s museum, that was very interesting, she was a fascinating woman. Now we are ready to go out for our last dinner and some Tango!! Tango is very big in this city, it´s in their blood and I can´t wait to see it for myself. Got a little glimps of it on a street cafe already. Just hope Tony behaves and doesn´t cut in !!
So, this may be the last blog until we get home, leaving late tomorrow night. I must say after three weeks we are ready to get home, living out of a suitcase isn´t always fun, but hey, I am not complaining, every minute of it was well worth it.
Argentina and Chile are both beautiful countries with equally nice and friendly people. They don´t always like it each other, but that is a whole other story.
Just heard on the news that there is some snowstorm in the east, I guess that will be our welcome back home.
Off to dinner and Tango.
