People, Places, and Things: Tourist Weeks

Often, when I'd talk with someone about my upcoming trip to Argentina, the response I would get was, "OOOooo, you're gonna get a really hot Argentine man there!" 

Great news!  I did get a man here! Last Sunday, I picked up Matt at the Buenos Aires airport! He's here for two weeks of sightseeing and his first time outside of the States.  Although he's not Argentine, he'll do. 

This past week we ate lots of food, did a tour around Buenos Aires, walked in a lot of public parks, met my good friend Gloria for coffee, went to the planetarium with Elicia and Jeremias, ate more food, took lots of taxis to avoid public transportation, and booked a trip to Mendoza.

This week, we'll be taking tours through the Andes and drinking lots of wine at the famous Mendoza vineyards (Spanish for vineyard: bodega). 

Thanks to everyone who predicted I'd meet someone while here--I'm really happy to have Matt with me for a great two weeks of relaxation, tourism, and taxis.  

Happy almost Christmas!

  1. Hey Kayla!

    I love reading your posts! They remind me of my adventures in Costa Rica and makes me excited that you're experiencing something simimlar. How much longer will you be over there? You said 5 months and I wasn't sure if that was the end of December or beginning of January. Do you need any Sudafed?

    God Bless,
    Rachel C.

    1. It's so good to hear from you, Rachel :) Thank you for reading my post. I'll be here until Jan 10th. It's coming very soon. You were in Costa Rica for a semester, right?

      Luckily, I haven't had the cold for a couples months so we'll hope that it stays that way and that sudafed will not be needed. Incidentally, I did find sudafed, but it's always combined into an allergy medicine. Sudafed is so perfect, I don't know why they want to add to it! lol
