Addios Argentina

 On the last two days in Buenos Aires we cooled off in the hotel's rooftop pool. With Summer in South America just a few weeks away, the days in the city were hot which made the pool the perfect place to chill after our outings.

I knew it would be hard to return to California's winter; rain and cold were the exact opposite of the weather we had in most of Argentina. I started to have fantasies of becoming a sun chaser; of having two homes, one in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern. We could move from every six months, living our lives under blue skies and a bright, warm sun.

But alas, reality came crashing back. So while Don had the girls take their final dip in the pool, I packed up with a sad heart about leaving a land, that in a few short weeks, I had grown to love.




Our rooftop pool with a view!
 Argentina bid us farewell with a dazzling sunset.


We had a two hour delay; so by the time we boarded at 11 p.m. we tired and ready to sleep the 10 hours to Atlanta. Then it would be another 5 hour flight. It was a long haul to get back home but our hearts were filled with many memories, lots of love and a suitcase full of trinkets to adorn our home. Addios Argentina. Until next time....
