Buenos Aires,
Argentina
Sunday, February 8, 2009
It was not long before we remembered why liked it so much. Even though Saturday morning and early afternoon is very quite in downtown BA, we were quickly engulfed into the architecture, the lifestyle and magic that is Buenos. We wandered some new streets, and some old ones, and even made a random walk that took us to Palermo and the place we stayed 2 years ago. Occasionally we would stop off and remark at some building or café, that we were there and ate here and here and it seems just like yesterday that we did that.
We loved our last day in BA. It was sunny and warm, wonderful for slow walks on the streets, or sitting in cafes for fresh pastries and coffee. Our only regret was that we did not schedule more time here, probably a few days at the start of the trip, to get re-engulfed in Argentina all over again.
We were very sad to get on the bus to take us to the airport, and leave downtown and see as the suburbs slowly deteriorate, first beautiful old buildings all the way to crumbling very poor neighborhoods.
When we got to the airport, we were wonderfully surprised to see Witek and Mariela there. They had come by to drop off our sunglass case that we left at their house, along with a couple of gifts and to save us a spot in line as well. It was very nice to see them and great to feel that we have an extra set of parents all the way in Argentina.
We truly will miss them and the country.
Adios!
