hello all!

greetings from argentina! we have been in this fine country for a week now. i am rounding the corner and headed for home, i will be back in the states in less than a week. this will be my last blog entry for the trip.

we flew from lima to buenos aires on december 2nd. buenos aires is a beautiful city, but quite a switch for our pocketbooks. (who says pocketbooks anymore?!) anyway, it´s back to reality, we´re no longer traveling cheaply. we are just about into the peak season for beachgoers, as it is spring in argentina, so this has made our travel plans difficult. it has been hard to find lodging at times.
we have had fun in the city, the first day we went to see the museum of eva peron, ¨evita¨and the cemetary she is buried in. we also took in a tango show one night, with a lesson before the show and you should see marc and i tango. i mean really.. and you should´ve seen how ready marc was to tango after the three bottles of wine with dinner...
we also saw an argentinian soccer (football) game. we watched the best team in the city, the ¨boca juniors¨ play. being in the stadium was like nothing we´d ever been a part of. we have pictures that simply won´t do it justice!

today we find ourselves in a pretty beach town called pinomar, about three hours down the coast from buenos aires. we have been here for a few days, and i will tell you that yesterday, our FIRST day on the beach, marc and i got sunburned. big, bad, red, hot sunburns.. so today we´re taking it easy roaming around the town. the town is only semi-ready for the tourist season to begin. there are still several shops that won´t even open until early january.

tomorrow we head back for our last night in buenos aires, and on friday we will fly up to iguazu falls. iguazu falls is one of the largest waterfalls in the world, situated right between argentina and brazil. i can´t wait to see it, the pictures i´ve seen so far are incredible! we will stay there for the weekend and i fly to lima on sunday and home on monday. marc will then fly to ushuaia, argentina, the southernmost city in the world..
we splinter in completely opposite directions again in search of adventure. mine will take the form of playing ¨little people¨with grace and aidan on their bedroom floor, (i wouldn´t have it any other way) marc´s will consist of seeing the southern tip of south america, some of the largest glaciers in the world, and much of the patagonian andes.

i will wrap this up. i hope you have enjoyed the adventures of jessi and marc, and i can´t wait to see you!
love to you all,
jess
