Leigh
Court and I are back from our month-long trip to Santiago, Chile and Buenos
Aires, Argentina and we had a blast! It was the adventure of a lifetime, and I
took advantage of every minute of it J
One
of the highlights for me definitely was learning to tango in La Boca. The
teacher was great…
…
but one of our, er, travelling companions, was not quite as into the lessons as
I was.
Turns
out the La Boca/Caminito area of Buenos Aires was where a lot of Italian
immigrants first arrived in Argentina, so while Leigh didn’t tango, she was at
least interested in seeing the area where her relatives arrived 60+ years ago.
The area is painted in brilliant colors to cheer up the poor residents who live
in the area now.
But
of course the highlight for me was seeing my favorite band, the Rolling Stones,
play in both cities, Santiago and Buenos Aires. This is the farthest I’ve ever traveled to see them, but
it was totally worth it! And 58,000 fans in Buenos Aires agreed with me J
I
definitely got “satisfaction” from this trip! The adrenaline rush hasn’t
completely left me yet, and hopefully I will find as unique a trip for Leigh
and I for our next adventure.
How
about you? Ever had a vacation you’ll remember forever? Share!
