Buenos Aires

We are verging on week three of the big adventure. We definitely miss W&W alot and the big population of stray South American parros doesn´t help to alleviate our separation anxiety. But we hear that W&W are very happy in their new forested setting. So far, we´ve determined that a tell-tale sign of the economic status of a community is whether dogs are leashed or have collars. Uncle Mort can include that in his next AP test.
We have spent the pàst three days in Buenos Aires. To both Krista and me, we feel more like we´re in Western Europe than South America. BA has a much more European feel than anywhere we spent time in Peru. We´ve tried our best to adust to the Portenos schedule and have really enjoyed indulgent 2pm weekday lunches of steak and wine. But unlike the locals, we have had trouble straying from our premidnight bedtime.
Tomorrow we are off to Mendoza, the wine region of Argentina. We expect to continue enjoying great meals, but in a smaller city. It will be our first and only rental car experience of the three month trip (friends, don´t worry, KB won´t be behind the wheel).
