These pics show a few scenes from our time in Argentina. Highlights were seeing Buenos Aires, visiting our friends Julio, Graciela, and Nacho in Parana (6 hours bus ride North of Buenos Aires), and our visit to the fabulous Iguazu Falls.

We went to a bar that had Tango demos. The Tango is a beautiful dance to watch. Subsequent two pics show Don and Ceal dancing with the Tango performers, and the band.

This is the "Pink House", Argentina's presidential palace. The top balcony is the spot from which Eva Peron wooed the masses gathered on the square in front of the palace (if you haven't seen the movie "Evita", it's worth a look).

The palace looks directly down this street
