Reno to Buenos Aires

We are on the road again! We returned from our U.S. road trip just three weeks ago and now we are off on a six week trip to Argentina. If you would like to see our complete itinerary just click on Itinerary in the menu above.

Monday morning our friend, Ray gave us a ride to the airport in Reno. We flew to Denver and then took a second flight to Houston. There were thunderstorms and wind around Denver so our departure was delayed. As we approached Houston we knew that it was only about 30 minutes until our plane to Buenos Aires left and our gate was about half a mile away. Then they aborted our approach because the plane ahead of us was still on the runway so we had to go around and try again.

At that point we assumed we would miss our plane. But just before we landed there was an announcement that they were going to delay the departure of the Buenos Aires flight because there were so many people on our flight from Denver who were going to Buenos Aires.

We landed, they let about 50 of us with tight connections off first, and then we ran! We made it and so did our suitcases.

We landed here in Buenos Aires at 8:13 then took an Uber for the hour ride to our hotel in central Buenos Aires.

Neither of us slept much on the plane so when we got to our room we immediately slept for about 3 hours then went out to change some U.S. dollars to Argentine Pesos and to get some afternoon coffee.

We decided to walk to the Jazz club where we had dinner. On the way Duke totally surprised me by taking us into one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. El Ateneo is in an old theater and is truly stunning. I was so focused on getting to dinner that I tried to walk right through it so that I wouldn’t delay us. In reality I could have browsed for an hour. But I didn’t. But we did browse a bit.

Dinner and the show were great at Jazz Voyeur. I was so tired I dozed off a few times during the show but even so I thoroughly enjoyed the show.
