Argentina with the Ramsey Brothers

AS we ventured forth into Argentina I didn't really know what to expect, other than Argentinean Spanish is difficult to understand.

Mendoza is a picturesque city known for their selections of wine & bodegas; they are called the "Napa Valley" of South America.  They also have some of the most delicious steak in the world!  We stayed there for about 4 days and we ate...ate...and ate some more!  We went to the Pre-Columbian Museum of Art and walked around the city.

Next we hopped an overnight bus to Buenos Aries and have now been here for about 3 days.

So far we love it here and are constantly enamored with the city-life of one of the oldest and most unique places in South America.

Love this sign! 

Meeting room in the Presidential Palace  




Balcony in the Presidential Palace where presidents and first ladies make speeches from.  I was paying homage to the famous first lady Eva Peron by singing "Don't Cry for Me Argentina".   Definite Nerd Alert.

Here I was demanded change and justice for the Argentinean people - just because no one was listening doesn't make it any less powerful 

 

Dan loved this chair! 

The awesome leather jacket that I want to buy...expensive, but you only live once!
