Christmas in Argentina

After a 30 hour train ride, Gus and I arrived in the chaotic and enormous city of Buenos Aires in the beginning of December. We were not sure it was gonna be a place for us, but besides the chaos and the enormous distances, it has its beautiful spots and time flew by really fast.

Sunflowers everywhere

We were lucky to catch the new train, so the 30 hours were quite comfortable

Reaching Rosario we stretched our legs, but we were very tired and we still had quite some time left before getting to Buenos Aires

We went to San Telmo, a part of Buenos Aires, and we worked and also enjoyed the free tango shows.

Castro has even reached Argentina (King Castro)

Working at Feria plaza Francia in Recoleta, our stand is the one on the left, and we got to spend the weekend with Lucila, great person and very talented artesana.


Christmas came early this year since the 19th the whole crazy family arrived to Argentina

After a couple of days in Buenos Aires we left for Villa Gesell at the Coast. Mom and dad had rented a house so we were really comfortable

Later on it was time for a dance with mother in law 

After a great couple of days celebrating Christmas, we drove all the was to Santa Fe to spend a couple of days. Here we took a great boat ride at the river Paraná.


Gus enjoyed "driving" the boat. Another marinero in the family ?

For lunch the meat eaters enjoyed this grilled chicken. They were quite happy

and we had a small picnic 

We are enjoying life and next stop is Cordoba for new years. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you will enter well in the new year.
