We started off the week as a very stressful week with not knowing whether David would be well enough to come. He felt his cancer was back. After a quick trip to Boston on the Saturday, we found out that he was ok and that the cancer hadn’t spread. But I really didn’t know whether he was going till we were on our way to the train..Yea He was coming.
So here we are on our way to Buenos Aires where the gang will meet us. BA is a big city with 17 lanes of traffic. Just one of the 23 provinces.We arrive at about 6 AM in the morning and David headed to bed. I go to get the lay of land, But after about an hour or two, I have to succumb to some Sleep.
After a quick nap I am up and waiting to see the gang and in walks Chris and Deb David and I had ventured out to Kentucky’s for some Empanadas to eat. When we go to pay with my money that I had changed at home, the guy said he couldn’t take the money..Why???? It turns out that the bank had given us Mexican pesos instead of Argentinian pesos... I was not too happy. Exchange rate is .375 pesos to $1 US

| This is where we are going. ( I can't seem to crop this) We came across the Drake "shake"Passage. The waves came come as high as a 15 story building. We only had 3 to 4 stories. We stayed mostly on the Antarctica Peninsula. |
