Yikes!
Hey you guys. I just looked at the weather there. So sorry, it looks like snow and rain everyday. Dang it is 70's here. We walked for miles today in the sunshine. And yes I visited the lady who makes pictures on her home made paper. I picked up some pictures. She is doing a special request one for me. Yippee. More tomorrow.
Buenos Aires another day
These are the Doctors who helped us during the first course.
Jeff as you know carries his GPS and marks all the sites on it. We just came out of a famous place Cafe Tortoni, so if you ever go to Buenos Aires he can give you the coordinates.
One night 6 months ago I was watching the Travel Channel and saw a thing on the best fast food places in the world. They did a piece on the most luxurious fast food place in the world. It was in Buenos Aires. I decided that I would need to see it. So last night I drug the team to find it. I did find it. Believe it or not this is a Burger King. It is an old Presidential Home. Beautiful ceilings. It was fun to see. Too bad it is ruined by orange and yellow plastic chairs. We were amazed. Nobody else seems to know about it. You have to go up two flights of stairs to see this. I nearly missed it because when you enter the building it is like any other old Burger King. Cool huh?!?

In Argentina
Check out this grill!
We arrived safely in Buenos Aires Sunday around 11:00 am. It was a very long ride down here. Sunday dinner was at the apartment of the missionaries. Three couples were there. We slept like babies last night. The course has been very challenging. Very different than what we are used to.
Tonight when we were finished we walked along the port. It was a lovely evening. Warm, sunny and lots of fun things to see. We toured an old frigate. We went to dinner at a famous place. Jeff and I have tried for two trips to get there. It is in the "1000 places to see before you die " book. It was excellent. However I threw down the challenge that the meat in La Boca will be better. We go there on Wednesday. It is interesting here. We saw luxury yachts today and just a couple of miles away are shanty towns.
Tomorrow we have a short day and then will see another part of town. Possibly visit a hospital we were invited to. Good night, more tomorrow.
