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.
