Family visit

So my parents and sister came and that was SO much fun. I worked really hard planning their trip for them, finding hotels (or lack there of) booking airfare, booking tours, etc. It all ended up amazing. We went to Bariloche, in Patagonia. It was beautiful, we stayed in a beatiful hotel on the lake, with the mountains in every direction. Ah. It was so nice having fresh air, and no sounds of busses and horns. We went on a beautiful hike, then a really nice boat tour. We walked around the town for a while (which was one of the most touristy towns ever...) They are known for their chocolate, and on the last day in town, we went into like 5 chocolate shops, and they all let you sample their chocolate. Needless to say, we were all on a HUGE sugar buzz the entire flight home.


In Buenos Aires there was some drama with the apartment that I had found for our family to stay in. The fam ended up staying in a really sweet hotel overlooking Plaza San Martin. BEAUTIFUL! We went shopping, went to an amazing tango show, saw all the touristy sights like Boca and Palermo and Recoleta and we had amazing amazing amazing food. Yeah. That´s what its all about here.

Overall it was great to see my family, and spend lots of time with them, it's been too long.

I'm coming home early, on Dec 17, so I'm excited to see snow again, and be cold etc. Should be amazing. Next post will be my beach adventures (I just got home!!)
