Hola from Buenos Aires!

We arrived yesterday and have been busy exploring the town. But before we talk about Buenos, our last night in Calafate was spent visiting Nebepo Aike Estancia, at the foot of the Patagonian Andes. We had such scenic views from there, and enjoyed learning about the way the estancia works and the sheep shearing process (see picture below!). We also were treatedto a delicious Patagonia feast! Asado, Beef, Chorizzo and fresh salad from the estancia´s garden. Yum!

Ok, so now for Buenos!

Last night we went out to San Telmo Market and strolled around for a few hours, admiring the artisans´ work, along with just the neat feel of the city. The architecture is very old and beautiful. We enjoyed hearing many street bands along our walk last night! There were tons! We also made our way over to Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church. They just happened to be hosting a choral concert that we were able to sit in on, and then we had a nice tour of the church. It is a beautiful church, with beautiful iconography and mosaic iconostas. The cupula is also a must see! we enjoyed our visit and hope to make it back for vespers on Saturday!

Today we spent time walking throughout the Recoletta, an old cemetary which houses some of the rich and famous of Argentina, including Evita. Each mosoleum is unique in it´s architecture and decor.

We plan to have a few more exciting days in Buenos Aires before we head up to Iguazu Falls!
