Buenos Aires seems like such a long time ago!

So much has happened since we last posted on the blog… We are going to try to backtrack.

From Uruguay, back in Buenos Aires for a couple of days and again having a beautiful time. The highlight was a most fantastic typical Argentine Asado evening hosted by the US Ambassador at the beautiful quincho of the Palacio Bosch (aka the Ambassador’s Residence). A quincho is a traditional Argentine outdoor kitchen and dining room with a HUGE brick oven where all kinds of (unbelievable!) beef is slowly roasted over a bed of hot wooden coals.
We had the most amazing ribs, steak, morcillas… you name it! A never ending feast that Ezequiel, the residence’s chef, mastered. Showered with beautiful wine and surrounded by the ever kind Ambassador’s team (we can’t thank you enough, again!) and a wonderful and interesting group of people: Claude and Gertrude, Kelly, Ryan, Melissa and her daughter Mary, Miquela, Jorge and Paula and, of course, Noah.
We did not leave Buenos Aires without walking all over again, discovering an incredible restaurant (La Cholita in Recoleta) and having the most amazing ice cream at Freddo’s one more time: Dulce de leche tentacion (dulce de leche ice cream with real dulce de leche swirls inside… so delicious!)
See you next time Argentina, we cannot wait to be back. We are off to Lima for a quick stop before heading back to LA for an even quicker stop to switch suitcases (thank you Hermans!!!) and start our adventure in Thailand. So exciting!!!
