Back together

After a 9 hour and 45 minute flight, I am finally in Buenos Aires! The flight left Houston at 9pm on the 22nd of April, and I arrived in Buenos Aires at 9:30am on the 23rd. The flight was a good one, although it was very long and very boring, most of the time was spent trying to find a good position to try to sleep in, which failed every time. Needless to say, I was tired when I arrived, but very very happy to see Guillermo and Fernando. We caught a taxi back to our hotel and rested a short while, and then we went out into the city. Buenos Aires is incredible, it is a very vibrant city and has lots of architecturally beautiful buildings. We ate at a wonderful outdoor restaurant, where Tango dances were performed every 20 minutes. So, it was lovely, sitting under the trees, with warm weather, good food and incredible music and dancing taking place in front of us.

We are all doing good, our hotel is very nice, it´s called the Gran Hotel Hispano and in a little while we are going to go have a nice dinner at the Cafe Tortoni. Our hotel is on a very bustling street, and we have already enjoyed some refreshments sitting at one of the outside tables close to our hotel.

It goes without saying that I did not get an email from Guillermo today, but instead got something better - his actual presence!!!!!

Vicki, I hope you don't mind if I leave a comment. I am so relieved that you made it all the way through. I was worried about that large blue bag. Will be eagerly watching for and reading about your adventures.
