Argentina: Part 1

For Easter weekend we went to Buenos Aires. We went for one reason: Curly girl and I were technically still on tourist visas and we needed to leave the country and re enter on our new official visas. It also happens to be a cool city that we wanted to see ;) Our tourist visas expired 4 days after we got home from our trip. Nothing like waiting till the last minute.
Santiago is nestled right up against the Andes. Crossing them was truly an experience. The clouds cant even come over the mountains. I will share another picture of our return trip where you can see the line of clouds that just cant make it up and over the mountains. It was bizarre!

Husband took this shot as we crossed over the tallest point. Quite the view.
So we got to Argentina right at Curly girl's bedtime-not ideal. But our hotel had 2 bedrooms and a sitting area so we whisked her off to bed and our friends that live in Buenos Aires came over with some tasty, tasty take out (read: STEAK) and we cracked open a bottle of malbec and caught up. This steak may have been the best steak I had ever had. If you are a steak lover, Argentina is the place for you. You cannot go there and not eat steak. The malbec was good. It was fine but it has nothing on Chilean red wine. We stayed at the Trianon apart hotels. If you go to Buenos Aires and you have small children this is right where you want to be. It is in Recoleta, close to tons of places to eat, has free breakfast in the mornings, has 2 bedrooms, a sitting area, a kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Magic basically.
