The Return

We are now back in Florida, USA, having completed the first phase of our journey. Overall, South America was pretty great, and now we've got to buckle down, take care of business (taxes, immigration forms, etc.) and plan the next phase of our journey. It's funny, actually, how many people we saw at the airport who were coming back for similar reasons (taxes), including someone I knew from NYC - Keith's friend Emily!

As you can see, I have now learned how to post pictures on the blog, so I may go back and include photos in some of the posts. And, I'll need to weed through the pictures posted on Yahoo to take out the bad ones (for those of you who just can't wait, see the link to Photos 7 at the left). But I suppose business before pleasure..


Buenos Aires was lots of fun. We spent five days there, exploring the city, enjoying good food (Matthias has sworn off meat for the next month - until our cruise, that is...) and taking in the sights.



A highlight of our time in BA was our trip to the Feria de Mataderos, which included a huge crafts market with amazing silver and leather goods, folk music and dance, and horsemanship competitions. Matthias and I just loved the horseys!

Now that we are back, we are looking forward to reconnecting with friends and family. Please write or call when you have a chance, if you don't hear from me first!
