Homeward bound


It's Wed. and our last day in Buenos Aires and time to catch our plane back to the states. We spent our last morning re-packing, yeah! it's the last time! Then we head on out to the Palmero district to check out some botanical gardens, too bad it's winter, I bet these gardens are much prettier in other seasons. We had to avoid the creepy guy in the first garden who kept staring at us and even asked for to take our pic, we told him no and left there pronto. End up eating lunch at this cute cafe El Galeaon, which had surprisingly great service with no extra fees for the water and little after dinner treats, that's a first. Great pizza and Empanadas, Jen finally gets some seafood, and then the waiter jokingly asks for my phone #, hah hah. After lunch we hit the japanese garden, then the art museum, and we are running out of time. Rushing back to the hostel, we manage to stop at an Ice cream shop, or Helado as it's called down here. I'm so glad we stopped, it was some of the best gelato I've ever had, yummmm!
Then it's the race to the plane, we get to the airport just fine, our cab driver was great, we get on just in time and mange to get a whole center row to just Jen and I, so one extra seat for all our crap. Then it's the long flight back. We arrive in Atlanta early, customs ends up being nothing but standing in lines. A full day of waiting around, 2 flights, a sore tailbone from too much sitting and we are finally in sight of our beautiful mountains of the Gallatin Valley. Yeahh! home, I'm soo happy to be back and to see my place and my cat Blue. Can't wait to get out into the mntns to play.
