I saw neither the colorful buildings in Buenos Aires nor the street tango dancers. Both can be found in an area called La Boca and we didn't go there. We did, however, visit this crazy cemetery in an area called Recoleta. It's a city in itself. Eva Peron is probably the most famous person buried there.
After Buenos Aires, we flew to Patagonia. The light was unreal.
There, we also saw the Perito Moreno Glacier. Dave's brother, Mookie, was lucky enough to actually see the glacier calving. The rest of us had to settle for the remarkable beauty of the large ice mass itself.
Later, in Mendoza, we had an amazing meal coupled with amazing scenery at a winery call Melipal. Malbec is Argentina's specialty wine, and it just happens to be my favorite.
We also experienced an Asado in Mendoza. This is basically a huge BBQ where 1.5 kg of meat is prepared for each person. That's about 3.5 pounds per person.
This cute man prepared our food, which made it really hard to refuse that second and third round.
I highly recommend Argentina for your next international trip.
As for taking a three and a half month-old child who doesn't nap but is tired all of the time and cries to let you know this, I can't put my stamp on that.
P.S. All of the pics here were taken on our trip (although not by me because I was too busy rocking said child).

Incredible pictures! I love that you pre-posted. Maybe now that you're back you and Sam can get some rest.
Good grief, that place is picturesque! Sounds like a great trip.
I was totally stymied by the pre-blogging/picture
choosing. But then I remembered how even though I tell people at my job the same thing 100's of times, no one seems to know what I'm talking about ever. Then I relaxed and learned something from the situation. Fave pic: Sam with that weird blue thing on his head! Hilar. Glad you're all home!
