Yesterday, our final day in Argentina, we had beautiful weather. Trey had told Kay about a great place to shop for leather goods so that’s where we started. Anna Maria had a wonderful shop with almost anything you could ever want made out of leather. I bought a nice belt & Kay got a purse.

We were then on our way to have lunch at a place that Trey & Andrew had yet to try, Elmuelle Restaurante. Wow what a place! It was on the water across the street from the old BA airport in what looked like an old castle. It was a treat as an old fried of Trey’s from Chile, José Ignacio Iturriaga, was in town for a few days & joined us for lunch.

After lunch, we headed back to finish packing & got ready to go. We settled up with Leandro, the owner of the building where Trey & Andrew live & the place where we stayed as well. We said our goodbyes & headed to the airport for the long trip home!

Kay & I noticed a lot of vehicles with numbers like 60, 80, 100, 110, etc. At home, you see signs similar to this that say 13.1, 26.2 etc. These mean the people in these cars are 1/2 or full marathoners. So, was very impressed that so many Argentines walked/ran such long distances until Trey told me that this just means that these vehicles will go no faster than these speeds (in KM/hour) on the roads. Boy did I feel stupid!
