Hotel Check-In

An amazingly coordinated trip brought our team of ten to Buenos Aires. Emily and 7 students flew through Denver to meet me in Houston. As my plane pulled in to one terminal, I watched their plane dock in another. They were shocked when the hopped on to the shuttle train to go to the international terminal and I was already on board. Jeannie met us this morning as we arrived in Buenos Aires.

Fearless Ladies Ready for First Subway Ride in BA

A shuttle bus from the hotel was waiting for us and we got settled in to a nifty little hotel in the very heart of the Tango area of Buenos Aires. This afternoon I took them on the subway (subte) downtown to see some of the sights. We ate dinner at a great pizza place that has been around for something like 100 years. We all loved it.

Let's see .... does BA stand for Buenos Aires or Bad Attitude?

We got back to the hotel early to be able to rest up a bit. It’s always hard to get any real sleep on an overnight flight. The weather here, though, was perfect today. In the 80′s and beautiful! Tomorrow we will spend the day exploring once again in Buenos Aires before going to Montevideo Thursday.

Hmmmm. I keep hearing these voices from the lobby.  A couple of young ladies were intent on convincing one of the young men on the desk to explain to them the culture of mate and maybe even achieve their goal of being able to share mate with a real live Argentinian. (Google it)
