Don't cry for me Argentina

Today is our final day in Argentina. We have loved Argentina and the people we have met. Unforutnately we did not get to explore Mendoza like we would have liked due to the bug that laid Mike up, but we have definately put a return trip on our list of things to accomplish in the future. This is a beautiful place and the prices are so reasonable that another trip to Argentina is a sure thing. We want to take Spanish classes at home to imrpove our ability to communciate with these friendly people. As in Europe, the children are all learning to speak English in the schools, but it would be nice to try and meet people in their own language.

Tomorrow we take off for Chile. When we planned this trip months ago we could only get a roundtrip ticket into and out of Santiago, Chile with our frequent flyer points. So, we started and end our South American trip in Chile. Although there are lots of places that remain to be seen in Chile, we so enjoyed the Central Valley wine country that we have booked our final week in the same place we stayed a week in January. I think the manager of the place was surprised to have us back so soon, but it seemed to be a happy surprise.

After that week we are off to Palm Springs until April 11 for our house/dogsitting adventure. It will be nice to be in the US for awhile to take care of the things we have not been able to do while we have been gone...doctor's visits, pharmacy, car emissions testing, tax returns, etc.

We are off to take a walk. Later,
Deanne
