Argentina

Sam and I were lucky enough to get to go to Argentina. We started in Buenos Aires

 this was our hotel room at a fun little boutique hotel there

 they had a lot of very cool art

 that was crazy when you looked up close (like this one made of fabric)

 or this one completely out of condoms

 or glass pieces

 or bullets

 or wire

the shopping mall near the hotel has this Christmas tree display up, each of those shiny objects are Swarovski crystal snowflakes, it was beautiful 

 our first night we went to a tango show, it was very fun and the band was amazing

 they next day we did a tour of the city

 these trees bloomed in the most beautiful purples

 The Recoleta Cemetery

 Eva Peron

 one amazing looking dessert!

 a fun time out and about

 followed by a wine tasting

and another tango show

 The next morning we headed to Mendoza Argentina where we hit the ground running visiting many wineries

 we had an amazing lunch

 and of course more wine

 our place in Mendoza was really nice too

 after a long day of food and wine, Melanie, our guide, and myself went for a long walk through the park near our hotel (Sam stayed back to watch some soccer)

 the next day we went to visit a few more wineries

 Catena Zapata was quite impressive!

 I loved this smaller one

 We stopped for lunch again, this time we were able to watch all of it made on the grill in front of us, and plated with such care

 Our last day we went for a walk around the city again and our guide Eguardo showed us this amazing book store, an old theater that had been changed into a book store, you could spend hours in this place (not to mention they had a great restaurant on the old stage)

 meanwhile, back at home Cohen was enjoying his time with grandma and grandpa

 he had his school thanksgiving celebration

 and we picked up a little friend for him

 to hang out with spot the dog...

 who once again traveled with us

It was a great trip with such amazing food and wine, would love to make it back here one day.
