These are photos from our second round of stay in Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires.
We previously had stayed in another part, in Palermo, but came back after our short trip to Iguazu Falls.
We stayed in an Airbnb located in Avenida del Libertador, a main avenue of the city. It’s a 2 minute walk from the grocery store, 20 minute walk to Chinatown, and had the best views of sunrises!
I loved our more than a month stay here, as it gave us enough time to relax and be stable for a while.
We had a view of the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti, home of the 1978 World Cup games
We’re staying in Ushuaia for 3 weeks, so we weren’t in any rush to do activities right away.
The first week, we were just enjoying staying in our Airbnb – enjoying the -2 degrees Celsius weather being under blankets and watching Twin Peaks and Atlanta.
Two days ago, we finally decided to do a major tourist activity – the Canal Beagle tour! We booked through Destino Patagonia, and the tour lasts about 3 hours. The boats leave at twice daily, at 10am and at 3pm. We of course took the afternoon one, for more warmth and the sunset!
It’s 9:04am here in Ushuaia, Patagonia in Argentina, the literal end of the world, and it still looks like 5am outside.
The sun has been rising at roughly 10am every day since we got here almost a week ago, and it’s been giving me slight headaches since I am an early riser. I wake up at 5am, 6am, 7am then I finally decide to get up at 8am. And it’s always still dark outside.
We are staying in a studio-type Airbnb here, and as I am writing this, I can hear Alex sleeping soundly. He wakes up a wee bit later than I do… This is a time for me to reflect on how…
Life has been slow, cold, yet wonderful lately.
Maybe it’s the 5mbps internet we have in this resort town, or the temperature in the negative degrees, or just by being next to snowy mountains when we look outside the window. Being here gives me a sense of reflection, of longing to share stories in longer form. The slow internet connection forces one to be in this mood…
