Buenos Aires

We arrived in Buenos Aires this afternoon after an overnight flight from Houston in time to have a late outdoor lunch and walk around the Recoleta Craft Fair. It is summer in Buenos Aires and a steamy 85 degrees.

We had a wonderful dinner full of lively conversation, camaraderie and lots of laughter with Ralph and Donna at our favorite Recoleta restaurant, La Pecora Nera.  The homemade ravioli stuffed with deer meat and cooked in a Malbec rosemary sauce was to die for. We were able to pay with American dollars which resulted in a savings of 1/3 of the cost of our meal!


Tomorrow we continue our journey south by flying to Ushuaia, the Capitol of Tierra del Fuego, a Province of Argentina. It is considered the southernmost city in the world. Their motto is "End of the World, Beginning of Everything ".

And so it begins....
