Before we reach Santiago though I was curious to meet one of my (a little more distant) cousins. My Dad had a cousin who immigrated to Argentina with her husband in 1951. I had met her with 2 of her…
Wednesday morning after one last breakfast together with Frank and Mike we left our cozy Camping Internacional in Foz do Iguazu. Just 5 minutes into the ride it started to rain heavily. We put on our raingear while Mike…
We spent another day in Buenos Aires. I left Heinz at the Hostel and walked to “La Boca”, one part of the City famous for the soccer club “La Boca Juniors” (Diego Maradona used to play for them!) and the…
