Or better - I’m crying because I have to go home! Thursday was our last day in Buenos Aires and we all agree that we have enjoyed visiting this lovely city and we would like to come back and explore more of Argentina.
It poured down rain most of the morning so we stayed in, played bridge and read books. Lunch was at a small cafe around the block from the apartment and across the street from the fine restaurant where we dined last night. John had seen news crews with cameras on this street a few days ago so he asked the owners, who speak English, if they knew why. Three men tried to rob the restaurant but one of them got punched in the face by a waiter. The owner laughed and said she thought it must have been a very slow news day!
Susanna and I went shopping as we both wanted to buy souvenirs or remembrances for ourselves or our daughters. Since it is nearing the end of summer in Argentina there were lots of sales on summer clothing so we found some really nice bargains.
The check out from the apartment went smoothly and our ride arrived on time; the drive to the airport went faster than we thought it would during rush hour so we had lots of time to get checked in and then to wait. Our flight left BA at 9:30 pm and arrived 10.5 hours later in Atlanta, two hour layover, then a 2 hour flight to KC. The flight attendant welcomed us to “Alaska!” As cold as it is, it sure feels like we flew past Missouri!
Jack and Mary picked us up at the airport with a sign reading “Sedalia Four” like we were greeted in all the airports on our trip. The drive home seemed to go quickly with all the talk about our stay in BA and all the fine memories we shared of the early parts of the trip.
We have had a great experience in South America and John and I would have no problems traveling with Susanna & John or Mary & Jack in the future. But for now we can’t wait to give our kids and grandkids a big hug and then take off in the RV to warmer climes!
