Liz's Pics

Liz and Christy on the plane on the way to Buenos Aires. Their flight was delayed 11 hours. Once they got there we were ready to party!!!
Liz and Christy in front of the Obelisco, the landmark in the center of the city. We were about to go into the Confiteria Ideal to watch tango dancers.
Liz and Christy experiencing the Subte. It's hot down there and a little smelly, but the best way to get around town.
Here we are at the Plaza de Mayo. Behind us is the Casa Rosada, or main government building, famous for it's rosy hue.
We also visited El Caminito in La Boca, a street famous for the colorful houses. Now it's a giant tourist attraction. The area of La Boca, or the mouth, is called that because it is the port at the mouth of the river. It is also home to a million tchotchky shops and we saw them all.
Then we went to Uruguay on the Buquebus! We are so excited!!!
Here we are at the top of the lighthouse in Colonia. It was really high up there!
The lighthouse with the ruins around it. Beautiful!
Colonia from the top of the lighthouse.
It was a tough climb to the top, and dizzying on the way down!
At the end of the day it started to rain, and was raining really hard by the time we needed to rush back to the ferry. We were drenched, as you can see, and I got totally yelled at by the customs official. My ticket had been ripped by the guys on the way over and she scolded me, telling Liz and Christy that it was "Horrible!" that I had a ripped ticket, then gave me the look of death. And we were soaking wet! I guess the manners stop at the Argentine border!
