Buenos Aires, Part Quatro: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

We’re back! The last few days of the trip went well. The sun came back out but the temperatures dropped a bit so we wore pants instead of shorts, but it beats the cool temperatures I heard the Boston area had in our absence. We spent Saturday exploring the Reloceta neighborhood of the city. This […]

Buenos Aires, Part Tres
