Our time in Argentina was coming to an end quickly, and many of us were tired after two and a half weeks away. It was decided that today would be a rest day (aka, laundry day). That meant a lot of pacing for me around the place. I have energy to spare and I wasn’t … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 17 – 1/8/2025”
Danelle and I went out for an “early” morning walk to pick up breakfast. We came back with bread, jelly, butter, and the worst donuts I’ve ever experienced. After our walk, we went back to relax with the kids for a bit until setting off around 11 for today’s activity. The first stop was lunch … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 16 – 1/7/2025”
This morning we walked to the city’s Japanese Garden. Bordered in the city by tall buildings, and short of space, the garden made the most of the space available. The plants were lovely in summer mode and the water features fun. There was lots of stopping for photos. Danelle even viewed some read headed bird … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 15 – 1/6/2025”
Moving day. Controlled chaos to me. I wasn’t in charge, so I just had to follow along. Danelle had the lead as she has made all of the arrangements to date. Our check out time was 10am and our early check in at the other location about 15 minutes away was set at 10:30. I … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 14 – 1/5/2025”
Today’s plan was an early morning walk for Danelle and I to the nearby ecological reserve. Coty wanted to be woken up early to meet a friend for breakfast. Then Corvin and Sonora would sleep in and meet up with us later. I woke Coty up as requested and Danelle and I were out the … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 13 – 1/4/2025”
Danelle and I planned to get up and leave by 8am to get breakfast. We were slow and didn’t get moving till almost 9am. We went by a sit down breakfast place but changed our minds. We circled back around to a bakery that looked interesting during our walk to the first place. One of … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 12 – 1/3/2025”
Around 4:30 this morning, Danelle and I both were awake and things were starting to come into focus. Did we hear water dripping? Yes, we did 🙁 It turns out the mini-split AC in our room was dripping water on our luggage. First order of business was to move the luggage and see how wet … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 11 – 1/2/2025”
HAPPY NEW YEAR. Most people would say that for the day before, but here we are. I wasn’t feeling great in the morning again. I turned off the fan and then got up to drink coffee and try to warm up. I paced outside for about 45 minutes before Danelle woke up and came to … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 10 – 1/1/2025”
Holy cow, its New Year’s Eve! We got up super late this morning. Corvin, Danelle, and I went into town to attempt to exchange USD. I say attempt because after tries at two different Western Union locations, we gave up. That didn’t stop us from stopping at a pharmacy for some over the counter cough … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 9 – 12/31/2024”
Our family plus Coty took off in the rental car to try and get to the cathedral this morning. We left around 11 knowing it closed at noon. We didn’t expect the traffic of San Juan’s city and drove around a long time before we could find a parking spot. It was nerve wracking for … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 8 – 12/30/2024”
