Futbol, Carne and Tango in Buenos Aires!

The perfect place to end our adventures in South America...Buenos Aires. A city with grand architecture and a european flair. Buenos Aires is known for it`s futbol (American soccer), carne (MEAT) and tango, a romantic style of dance. Last night, we attended a local futbol match and enjoyed both the game and people watching. The Argentinian people go crazy over futbol! A few more days to explore before we catch our flight home.

Hey Lindsay-
PLEASE give me a call or e-mail when you get into Portland. We're moving to Raleigh, NC on July 18th so I'd love to have some hangout time before that!!

We recently had family photos taken in the Columbia Gorge by a wonderful couple who travel around the world with their two kids taking pictures. I just love how they turned out!

Cora and the boys

Dave's friends, Scotty, Ryan and Danny, have been taking good care of us this week. We're thinking about asking them to move in long-term! Ryan is currently making us a fancy breakfast and Danny is still trying to find us the perfect Subaru Forrester to purchase.

Salar de Uyuni Tour

Southeast Bolivia is home to the world´s largest salt flats. This amounts to huge expanses of flat land surrounded by snow capped mountains. Big lakes, super dry deserts, and llamas, alpacas and vicuñas everywhere. As you can see from the photos, there are a few interesting things going on here. First, and most notable, is the huge population of flamingos. There are three different species that summer in Bolivia and winter in Chile and Argentina. But what makes it even more interesting is that the salt flats are roughly 14-15,000 feet above sea level. We are way up here. That makes the hills and mountain surrounding the plains almost 20,000 feet. Mt. Everest is less than 30,000 feet. This is home to flamingos? Yep, lots of em.
