Wrapping Up Argentina
November 14, 2008 · Print This Article
We’re back in Buenos Aires after more driving than we can believe. The car was the right choice for our visit, but we surely will choose a different means of transportation if we are fortunate enough to come back again in the future. After all, how much of this can we take?…..
Today and tomorrow will involve wrapping things up; packing, returning the rental car, and doing whatever else we feel compelled to do before leaving Argentina. We are staying again with Birgit, Claus and Moritz which is such a great way to finish our stay. The kids are sleeping in, after swimming in the pool yesterday and playing with Moritz. I’m at a local wifi enabled cafe making last minute reservations for LA and Japan. Kelli is probably folding the our clean laundry that we desperately need. I will return our damaged rental car this afternoon. Such are the glamorous parts of our travels.
Jack and Ainsley will post articles soon about our magical 2 night stay at an estancia named Peuma Hue near Bariloche. It was the singularly most beautiful spot during our travels so far and you can look forward to hearing about it soon in their unique voices. In the meantime, here is sample picture.
Till later…..









…..just rest and kick your 10 feet up for awhile as you contemplate all that you have experienced. Godspeed in your return to the states : )
John: I saw Kim Krzywy last weekend in Durham and she tuned me into your Grand Tour. I am so amazed at your experiences! I love this blog! This gives me something to shoot for when I finally see the end of diapers. . . .
Continue to travel safely and enjoy!
Best,

Hi Carolyn,
Nice to hear from you and glad that you were back in Durham visiting with your good friend Kim. I caught up with our classmate Pablo Brizzio in Buenos Aires and hope to see some others in SE Asia.
We are having a great time, but at times being home with some young ones and diapers sounds fairly relaxing and carefree in comparison. 7,000 km in a tiny car with three kids got a bit trying at times!
Take care,
John
Welcome to Japan!!!! Can’t believe you are there already! ENJOY!!! Looking forward to reading all you posts from the Argentina wrap-up. The weather here in Durham is definitely crisp. Kelli–Nancy & I thought of you as we walked the golf course in perfect crisp weather!
