... city with tons of artesan vendors. I had the best fruit smoothie I've ever tasted, and then took a boat ride through town. It was wonderful to get out of the city for the day, to relax and breathe fresh air, and our guide made everything so fun. Go to Buenos Aires 4 U's website to check it out!

Cañuelas, Argentina

So the second day in Argentina has come, and I am feeling much, much better about the whole thing. It is pretty amazing what a good night's sleep will do for you. I was so confused and jet-lagged yesterday when I wrote my first post that I even put the wrong day of the week. Anyway, deciding to go to bed early last night (for Argentine standards anyway) and not go ...

... like a small city of its own. Crypts stand stories high and there are collections of statues and mausoleums, tributing the dead of Argentinian high society.

By the time we ...
