Just a short entry to round off the grand Argentina and Antarctica trip. (I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist the Evita reference 🙂 )
We couldn’t just pass through Buenos Aries. So even though we are running on empty and Michelle is getting sick we managed a couple of things. Enough so that when I likely eventually return I’ll have my bearings.
We spent most of a day just catching up on sleep, food and reconnecting to our lives. Followed by some yummy drinks and tapas at our hotels sky bar which had a good view of the Obelisco. It’s been a strange juxtaposition with the wilds of Antarctica.
For our last fun day of this 23 day trip we took a leisurely walk along the famous Avenida de Mayo. Named after the May revolution that led to Argentina’s independence. It connects the Plaza de Mayo, where the Casa Rosada (pink house) that Eva Peron gave her famous speech from is with the Congressional Plaza. That plus a brief visit to the Catedral metropolitana de Buenos Aries because Michelle was about to spontaneously combust for some reason. It reminded me of some old world churches of Europe.
We concluded with a nice late lunch/dinner and will be heading to bed early as it’s going to be a real long travel day tomorrow. It’s been a fantastic trip full of a lot of wonders of nature and memories made.
