South of the Border III - BA!

Wednesday took us to Buenos Aires, one of the most spectular cities. What a delight to both experience a world-class city, visit with Santiago's grandfather, and ... shop!

It was wonderful to see multiple generations in one place

We headed out to Dique Lujan, where Abuelo Norberto has a cottage and where the Sedaca kids (my husband....) spent many a steamy summers.

The boys went right to work, invading Abuelo’s workshed and going to work in the yard. Cracking pecans from the yard, and burning leaves were the main activities of the day.




With that, they worked up a major appetite, so went to work with the grill.

We went to the zoo downtown. The boys loved the sites.


The boys naturally enjoyed giving food to the ducks (yes, they are jumping for joy), and the zebras. 2, 9

We hung out in Puerto Madera for...yes, you guessed it, more meat and yummy Freddo's ice cream


We strolled through the infamous Boca area, home to Santiago’s favorite futbol team and much of Buenos Aires’ “colorful” (literally and morally) history. We ended in a Havanna shop, selling the most famous alfajores in Argentina. Jacob enjoyed his tasty perch.


What a blessing to have had this wonderful time!
