Buenos Aires Update

Melissa and Jackie arrived in Monday, we were so excited to see them!! Luckily it rained the day they arrived so we had an excuse to catch up on sleep and mellow out for the night.

The next day we headed to San Telmo, known for it's tango and antique shopping. We had a fabulous lunch at a local spot with the babies. They were good little girls sitting at the table while mamas tried out traditional Argentenean dishes. We walked through the park across the street fir a while, then strolled down Despair Ave, known for antigue shopping, through downtown, into San Martin, then back to Recoleta and home. We changed quickly and headed back out to the design center patio where tango was happening! The babies danced to the music and we sat and had a very late dinner, Buenos Aires style. The babies have adjusted to their new bedtime well.
Chloe and I splept through the night for the first time last night, it was wonderful!

Today we took Melis and Jackie to the cemetery where the girls chased cats again! We stopped for lunch at an outdoor cafe then strolled home with gelato in hand.

Tonight we had a babysitter, Jimena, she's wonderful! We headed out to Palermo for some evening boutique shopping then dinner at Bar Uriate, yum! Buenos Aires is our new favorite city!

Tomorrow we're off the the four seasons pool for some sun and r&r!!

Dad arrives on Monday!

More updates later....

Ciao ciao!
