Peevees' Big Adventure - Happy New Year from Buenos Aires!


Happy New Year from Buenos Aires!
 
We had an opportunity to meet up with a friend of Sandy's who teaches music in upstate New York. He and his wife and their two adorable kids met up with us and we all headed to a big park in the center of B.A. to hear Daniel Barenboim (a native of B.A.) conduce the B.A. Symphony Orchestra conduct beautiful tango arrangements as the sun went down. It was a wodnerful time. We had big plans to party like mad, but we ended up pooping out shortly after midnight. Turns out things really start popping around 1 or 2 am. So we drifted off to sleep to the sounds of about 20 billion homemade fireworks exploding throughout the city. I swear, they were still going off at 6 am. Alan woke up early and had a ramble around the city, which was completely vacant at 9-10 am. It was eery. He found the lovely Nereid Fountain, after much wandering. See photo. We both wandered around together later in the day, but decided to cut it short when we heard the temperature had climbed to 114! My God was it hot. And HUMID... So we went to a park and sought respite beneath the shade of a tree on a pretty lake. Thus, we received our third case of...
... CHIGGERS!! Oh well. Next stop: Marrakech!
