In the last two plus weeks, we had friends visit from Columbus, hosted relatives from Minnesota, joined friends at their country home outside BsAs for last weekend's Columbus Day holiday, traveled to Mendoza for a spectacular wine tour (ostensibly so Husband could give a lecture on the Tea Party Movement and the upcoming U.S. election), and took day trips to the charming town of Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay, and to an amusement park in Tigre, north of BsAs on the Rio de la Plata.
In that first week, Husband also traveled to Cordoba and La Plata to give lectures. Oh, and both kids had fevers and had to stay home from school several days. Sunday was Mother's Day in Argentina. It exhausts me just to remember, and try to record, the blur of time.
More specifics to follow after I get my MacBook Pro repaired. It slid out of my computer bag and crashed on a tile floor last week. It is now making a disturbing sound at start up and I cannot close it all the way for fear of cracking the screen.
Here are a few photos. This will be teasers for future blogs with actual content....
