Adiós (Almost), Buenos Aires

We're nearing the end of our second and last full day in Buenos Aires. While here, we learned about the history of the ciudad, drank Malbec, and caught a tango show - a local tradition. There was a lot of walking involved so my problematic knee and ankle are both giving me a bit of grief right now, but it's nothing a bit of stretching, room service and a quiet night in can't solve, I'm sure.

El Ateneo Grand Splendid bookstore was once a performance theatre.
In 2019, it was named the world's most beautiful bookstore by
National Geographic magazine.

Quark Expeditions' local travel representative was on site at the hotel today to answer any last minute questions and hand out boarding passes for our charter flight to Ushuaia tomorrow - otherwise known as the "city at the end of the world" (recall: Buenos Aires to Ushuaia - second leg!). Looking forward to having the tour company take over from this point on.

Sidebar: the other night, I dreamed that I was running through Ushuaia looking for my parka to wear in Antarctica. Can't wait to see if the Ushuaia of my (literal, not even metaphorical) dreams looks anything like reality!

Our access to the connected world will be limited starting tomorrow. Hope to update you from the boat. If not, see you when we get back to civilization!
