Buenos Aires, meeting the rest of the group, and delicious dinner

We took a 3 hour flight from Santiago to Buenos Aires. Security went through our luggage to make sure we weren’t smuggling fruit, rocks, etc. into Argentina and they also carefully looked at the weight of both our checked and carry-on luggage to make sure we weren’t over the limit

We landed in Argentina and went directly to our hotel. Fortunately our rooms were ready and we checked in and then Jon our guide showed us where we could get our laundry done…same day service.

We went on a short orientation tour around the city, brought our laundry to the shop, and then went to a 4 o’clock “Meet the rest of the Group” OAT introduction meeting. Jon explained what to expect in the next few weeks and it truly will be an amazing trip.

After the discussion, a couple came in and gave us tango lessons. So much fun!! We learned three different steps and switched partners to keep dancing. Jon said we can dance on the ship and show-off what we learned.

We walked over to pick up our laundry. We had given the man a huge pile of clothes to be washed and dried, since we had been pretty sweaty on Easter Island and our clothes were ripe. We had to pay $13!!! Unbelievable. Wish I had sent even more clothes to be freshened up.

16 of us accompanied Jon to one of his favorite restaurants for dinner. The waiter was a hoot and told us exactly what we should choose for dinner. We ordered a delicious bottle of Malbec which we actually finished.

The meal was delicious and we enjoyed talking with the new people who arrived today.

It will be a busy day tomorrow.
