and the final edition…

Day Thirteen, Llao Llao onto Buenos Aires:

Before getting on a place (which is the LAST thing I wanted to do) back to Buenos Aires, I took some pictures of the views from our beautiful hotel.  Once we returned to Buenos Aires, I realized how nice it was to be back in a big city.

Day Fourteen, Buenos Aires:

This was our one full non jetlagged day in Buenos Aires. I split off from the group and went to the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires (MALBA).

Outside sculptures at Malba.

I really enjoyed myself at the museum and found a lot of artists work I liked but I had never heard of. The museum store left a lot to be desired in my opinion. Oh well.

High rises in BA.

I spent the day wandering around town and snapping pictures. I ate at a small cafe where I had my most successful conversation in Spanish to date. Have to get on that!

Dogs chillin on a summer day.

At night, we went to a tango show which was fun but also very touristy.

The next day I took no photos because we spent most of the day flying to Iguazu.

Day Sixteen, Iguazu Falls:

We woke up in beautiful yet very balmy and humid Iguazu Falls. One of the first things we saw upon entering the national park were several monkeys.

The Falls are in Argentina and Brazil. Due to expensive visas, we could only stay on the Argentine side.  The views of the Falls were breathtaking and pretty much took the cake for the most dramatic landscape of the trip. (Perito Moreno still has my vote.)

And now just pictures of the Falls:

Dos Hermanas Falls (my favorite one)

The film The Mission was shot here. I watched it in high school to learn about South American missionary work.  I plan on watching it again very soon.

FYI: Iguazu is not a part of Patagonia. It is in the Northern part of Argentina whereas Patagonia is the Southern part of Chile and Argentina.

Day Seventeen & Eighteen were spent flying so no pictures from those days.

My trip was FABULOUS.  THE END!
