Argentina - take 2

Our honeymoon in Argentina in 2009 was an amazing adventure. We fell in love with the sophistication of Buenos Aires, the romantic ruggedness of the gauchos, the wines and scenery of Mendoza, and the culinary delights...well, everywhere. The opportunity to return three and a half years later gave us a chance to re-visit some of our old haunts and spend a month really getting to know the country. I'm pleased to report that my Spanish improved a great deal and--despite daily croissants, steak, fries, and wine--I didn't gain a pound, thanks to the hot weather and tons of on-foot exploring. We spent weekdays in BsAs and jaunted off on weekends to Colonia, Uruguay (a quaint little colonial town a quick ferry ride from BsAs); the famous and spectacular Iguazu Falls, and Bariloche, a little taste of Switzerland in Patagonia.
