Day 170: Leaving Buenos Aires
Tuesday, June 28, 2011
We sadly say good bye to Buenos Aires today. We are leaving Buenos Aires on what is just the first of a series of buses towards Lima, Peru. We assume it will take us about 3 weeks to get there, as we only have a basic outline of our route and no concrete plans of how many days we will spend at each location.
Tomorrow we will wake up in Mendoza, Argentina which is famous for its large export of Malbec, the wine Argentina is famous for. Mendoza will be our last stop in Argentina before we enter Chile to spend a couple of days between Chile's largest cities; Santiago, Valparaiso, and ViƱa del Mar. Then it's a series of buses up the Chilean coast on our way to Cuzco, Peru, were we plan to visit the area's most famous landmark, Machu Picchu before heading to our final destination of Lima, Peru. We will then spend the remaining 5 or so weeks in Lima until our flight home on September 1st
Today is a bitter sweet day. I have mixed emotions about leaving the "Paris of the South", but enough with the boo hoo's, and I will recap some of the memorable things we haven't told you about.
January - Helado Helado Helado

February - Grocery shopping became a little more interesting!

There are a LOT of choices for Helado (ice cream). I haven't found one I didn't like.
February - Grocery shopping became a little more interesting!

With a brand name like Barfy don't you just want some meatballs?

Around the globe, the lights on many national monuments were switched off for Earth Hour as a show of commitment to policies that better serve the planet.
One of the many concerts or performances put on in celebration for Noche en Vela
Free aerobic class put on by the city at midnight during Noche en Vela
April - Is your local Walmart manager Fire Fighter trained?
