We arrived in Argentina right around the 3 month mark of our trip: a good time to camp out somewhere for a while and recharge the old batteries. We set our sights on Buenos Aires and figured that this would be a good spot to rent an apartment for a week or two and cook for ourselves for a change. As such, there’s not a whole lot to report about Buenos Aires. We pretty much spent our days there sleeping in late, hanging out at cafes, and catching up on some reading and movies. We even got ourselves a local Blockbuster video card: so domesticated!
Three months have flown by surprisingly quick. It’s easy to forget some of the great and memorable experiences that we’ve collected so far. Here are some highlights that I can remember off the top of my head:
- Stumbling into block parties in Seville, Barcelona, and Segovia in Spain.
- Bar hopping with Carlos in Spain.
- Hiking with our Irish friends Simon and Ben in Picos de Europa.
- Eating canoles with Sean in little Italy in New York.
- Making dinner for Dawn in upstate New York.
- Barbequing with Bob, Steph, Cate (and Evie)… and even Patrick Shultz in North Carolina.
- Standing in line… eating dinner off the street on a Caribbean island.
- Smoking a hand rolled cigar on a tobacco vega.
- Diving in the Blue Hole in Belize.
- Hiking around with Keith in Machu Picchu.
- Trekking in canyons in Peru.
- Steaks in Argentina… incredibly delicious. Order the Bife de Chorizo, cooked jugoso. No need to look at the menu.
Aside from Buenos Aires, we spent a few days near the Brazilian border visiting the spectacular waterfalls of Iguazu. Check out the pictures on the link below:
