Buenos Aires

We arrived safely in Buenos Aires this morning. Our driver was waiting for us with a sign at the airport - that is definitely the way to start a journey when you are exhausted and no one speaks English! Our hotel is nice and the first thing Diana did was take a short nap since she didn't sleep on the plane. Doris, who had slept a little, took off to explore the neighborhood around the hotel and find a sim card for her phone. We had a lovely lunch of Argentine beef in a salad for lunch and then had a private city tour with an English speaking guide and driver. The traffic here is crazy! Our guide did a nice job and told us more than we could absorb about Argentina's history as we drove all over this beautiful city in perfect weather. Attached to this blog are a quick view of some of the highlights - Eva Peron's tomb, Doris in the fun district near the old warf where we saw/heard lots of music and old buildings, and a snap of modern Buenos Aires - a lovely capitol city. After another brief rest, we headed to an evening tango show and dinner. Oh my! What a treat it was to see this amazing dance and hear the wonderful orchestra – very professional and accompanied by another great meal and impeccable service. We are now heading to bed for a good night’s sleep, exhausted, but after a full day. We feel like we are really here!
