Some Final Thoughts

Our time here feels unfinished. We thought we’d circle back to Buenos Aires so I could show Alex more of it’s culture (a tango show, a night at the theater, a few drinks in San Telmo or so), but we never returned. We also never explored the Argentinean of Patagonia, made it to Ushuaia, nor ventured north to the rainbow hills and rock formations of Jujuy and Salta. For those reasons, many more, and for as long as our friend Tonya is in this beautiful, vast country, we are sure to be back.
