Buenos Aires

We left Tupengato Divino Lodge at 7 AM without any coffee!! (we think the owner overslept).  We had to fly from Mendoza, Argentina back to Santiago, Chili then to Buenos Aires, Argentina meaning lots of lines back and forth thru immigration and customs!  We also said goodbye to Jack and Mary as they headed back to the US. today.

Buenos Aires (BA) is a city of 12 million people so you can imagine the traffic at 5 pm on a Friday.  John & Susanna and John & I have rented a small apartment in the Palermo Viejo area of the city for the next six days.  It's located over the La Cabrera Restaurant one of the top 10 rated in BA. It has a small wading pool on the patio along with outdoor seating and a grill.  There are two bedrooms and baths, livingroom and kitchen.  Perfect for the four of us.

We  ventured over to the local grocery store (1/2 block away) for snack and breakfast foods then toasted our new adventure in BA.  About 8 pm we strolled around the area and settled on an Italian place for a very light dinner. There must be over 50 restaurants & bars within 3 blocks.
