la plata




talk about going to unexpected places..... we ended up in this city accompanying ale to a friend's graduation, and I am so glad we went!!!! not only we had a great time but we met really nice people and ended up visiting one of the biggest and most amazing cathedrals i have ever visited. some european churches are really minuscule compared to this one. turns out this cathedral is the second largest in america and the towers are over 112 meter of altitude. what a surprise, in la plata, argentina, who would have thought..!

carilo



carilo is a small town within pinamar. it is a beautiful little village with unpaved streets, forests and very big summer houses. there are no street lights in order to preserve the natural aspect of the place. my parent's in law sonia and barco took us on a tour around the town. we had lunch, walked...froze a little (it was still cold) and took advantage of the beautiful craft shops to get ahead on the christmas shopping...

buenos aires



after spending months in panama and at sea, we arrived to this huge but amazing city in argentina. buenos aires is among the 10 largest cities in the world and it definitely feels like it when you are walking on the streets. we enjoyed the now so distant city life, the shoppes, the restaurants, but mostly the time we spent with friends and family. agus, noe, cata and juan a special thank you for making your home ours!!

argentina !!!



home away from home. we went to argentina for several weeks to get my argentinean passport and also visit family and esteban's old and my new friends. in all we spent 50 days in this amazing country and simply had a superb time with everyone. esteban had not been back home for many years so it was very pleasant for me to see his happy face seeing his town all over again, all the changes, his old room and stuff, and of course his friends and family. at the end, the 50 day stay we originally felt to be too long to leave our boat, became a very short stay. time really flies when you are having so much fun!
