La Despedida

This morning we went out for breakfast for the first time. We went to a pastry shop where you got to take a bowl and some tongs and pick out exactly what you wanted to eat off of the pastry wall. We enjoyed our coffee and dulce de leche filled creations, and then headed back to the apartment. The ladies finished their packing and we reminisced about their amazing trip. For lunch we sat at a lovely table outside and had a very traditional Argentine meal - pasta and beef with a red wine sauce. After lunch Layla and Charlotte came over for some goodbye ice cream.

Just before 5 the apartment owner came to check us out, and then Juan Domingo came to take us all to the airport. I helped the ladies through check-in and with paying the airport exit tax, and then turned them over to the customs officials.

Surely they were quickly seated in wheelchairs and attended all the way onto the plane. Right now they are flying somewhere over South America, and will be back to you all first thing in the morning.
