Home from South America

I’m back from our trip to Argentina and Uruguay! Two weeks ago, I left Canada at the exact time that Gabriel left the Netherlands. Flying across time zones, countries, and oceans, we met up at the customs lines in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Romantic, no? The next 14 days were spent discovering the historic streets of Buenos Aires, marvelling at the majestic beauty of Iguazu Falls, flying from city to city (10 flights in 14 days! woohoo new record for us!), recapturing Gabriel’s childhood in Montevideo, living the high life in Punta del Este, and returning for time with family in Buenos Aires.

Eye-opening. That’s the word I’ve been using to describe my experiences in Argentina and Uruguay. Others include: Shocking. Cultural. Relaxing. Breathtaking. Astonishing. Heart-breaking. Beautiful.

I have so much to share with you all. From the little things that amused me, shocked me, and generally made an impression on me, to recommendations on where to go, what to see, where to eat, and how to make it through a whirlwind travel experience, I am so excited to have new material to post on the blog!
