Wednesday 2nd February, Gertie arrived from Bermuda, to visit for a week.
Unfortunately her luggage didn't.... so first stop was some quick shopping. We soon had her running all around sightseeing - within 2 days she felt she had been here a week! Within a few hours of arriving she was out doing the tourist bus sightseeing.
Jimmy did a great job as tour guide! - a visit to the Boca:
another trip out to a different Estancia:
and museums, while Charlotte and I continued on with our home schooling and Spanish lessons til early afternoon.
During her week stay, we also managed a couple of afternoon games at the local bridge club! - the communication was "interesting" and luckily there were unusual bids to be explained!
Once night Gertie and I we went to see a Tango Show and a night on the town!
On Saturday we all took a day trip out to Tigre, a town north of Buenos Aires, with a guide that unfortunately didn't seem to know where she was going! 2 Train trips, a visit to the market and then a boat trip on the River Plate back to Buenos Aires.
On Sunday, Gertie and Jimmy headed off to a bar full of North Americana to watch the Superbowl.
By Monday, despite her age, it was obvious that Gertie had a lot more energy than us!! A last trip to the Boca on Wednesday, all us us up dancing tango at the restaurant, and then Gertie headed off to the airport.
