Some of you are probably wondering how this whole Argentina trip came about. I admit, it wasn’t on my radar at the start of this year. I hadn’t been dreaming, dying to go or planning it out for ages. It actually didn’t come about until a few days after my birthday when the girl holding the pastry in the photo above put the buzz in my ear to go SOMEWHERE. Natalie or Natalia, is the type of friend to peer pressure you into doing good bad things. For example; traveling to Argentina when your plate is already full delicious destinations to feast on.

Passing up a good foreign affair with a friend is very, very, very hard for me to do. It isn’t often that schedules sync up or that people are willing to go to a far away land. Natalie and I have previously traveled to Spain (2002) and Costa Rica (2004) and it was decided long ago that a third trip would be needed in order to officially consider us as travel buddies. With this year bringing great changes in both our lives (we both got married), the timing was perfect. Just got married and off we go! Of course we titled this trip as, “The Before Babies Tour,” but I’m sure we’ll find a way to get out there in world even with babies. That is if we really want to…

Anyhow, onto the featured presentation… Argentina.
