La Boca

Getting to La Boca, was an adventure in itself. We knew we had to catch bus 23 (I think) and we knew that it came down a certain street. While casually wandering looking for the bus stop a nice man asked us where we were from (a favorite question) and became our personal tour guide to the bus stop. We learned that the British had attempted to invade Buenos Aires and that cannons that were fired were still in the walls of a church near by. This man talked and walked as we tried to keep up. He drops us off at the bus stop and we wait.....and we wait.....and we wait. Buses 1 -100 come and go but never bus 23. We were beginning to lose hope when we decided to start walking back and until we found it, and thank goodness we did. Within about 20 minutes on the bus we were being dropped off on the most colorful, fun, and dance filled street in town!


Exhausted from our morning we had to refuel on a giant millinosa (breaded steak) sandwich, no surprise here it was YUMMY!

Caminito Street is famous for the Tango and Kylee and I did not miss out. Here I am trying to not step on my partners feet. He was very intense and I could not stop smiling and laughing!

All the houses, shops, and restaurants on this street were brightly colored. My best comparison is it was like something out of Disneyland! Since it was a huge tourist stop it was filled with lots of shopping, something neither of us got tired of doing!

Above is a picture of local artist stands.

La Boca is also famous for their futbol team. Here is a futbol/basketball court. There seemed to be kids everywhere, no matter what day or time.

I got into some trouble when I fell in love with a leather purse. I did leave it to think about it but then came back when we were ready to leave. As you can tell I am way to excited!

Modeling my newest purchase!

A great day, in a great neighborhood of Bueons Aires. Maybe we will be back one day to dance the tango again.........

Eating and Relaxing in Lovely Mendoza

We spent an afternoon in the big park in Mendoza. There is a large lake in the middle you can walk around, rows and rows of roses. Benches, statues, and just a beautiful atmosphere.



A little modeling on the side...

We spent a morning in a plaza with some amazing expensive coffee drinks. (less than $3) The price for a normal coffee is less than $1. Empanadas, one of our favorite foods (like a hot pocket) were about 50 cents a piece!!!!! We ate some great food in Argentina, especially compared to the local food in Ecuador.

One last meal before our overnight bus at our favorite local spot: Flaco´s. Good thing Kylee shot this picture in time, about 1 minute later, Chelsea got pooped on BIG TIME by a pigeon. YUCKY!

Goodbye Mendoza :( Goodbye Chelsea´s $5 amazing bathing suit......

Buenos Aires

Here we are outside of one of the many futbol stadiums. We went close but ended up not going to a game. Instead we headed to the Sunday Artisan market, which we loved!

This is the street that the Sunday market was on. It was jam packed with artisans, hippies, shoppers, and street performers. We got leather bracelets and shoes, enjoyed the street dancing, and battled through the masses of people. Such a cool market and we were so glad we got to go.

Starved after battling the crowds we ended up at a guidebook pick for dinner. The salsa was amazing and we ate it all up! The waiter even gave us some to go! We split another steak and once again were in delight on all the tender and juicy and just all around AMAZING steaks there were in Argentina. This one was served in a gravy and with these little potato fries. DELICIOUS : )

The grill in the front of the restaurant.

Our last meal in Buenos Aires. We decided to splurge on a fancy one, and no suprise we ended up at a steak house. Each time we ate the steak we attempted to compare it to the ones before and I think these were in the top 3 if not the number one. Tender, rare, juicy, flavorful, words just fall short of how awesome it was.

Well Buenos Aires was a blast! We did so much, including TOO much shopping and steak eating.
