ARGENTINA pt. 2 | USHUAIA - THE SOUTHERNMOST CITY

We only had about a total 24 hours to explore Ushuaia.  I loved the dreary, small town vibe of this seaside spot.  Ushuaia is the southern most city in the world, it’s claim to fave I suppose.  A quick four hour plane ride from Buenos Aires, it was drastically different weather wise.  Rained the whole time and was in the 40’s.  It is summer there, so things were very quiet.  From what we heard, it is quite a great ski destination in the winter.  Ushuaia is the city where most cruises to Antarctica leave from, so that’s why this was one of our stops and why we were only here for one night.  There are several fun things to do for just one day here; several little museums with history of the town, horseback riding in the mountains, and helicopter rides.  We found several cute cafes (with questionable internet but great coffee!) and enjoyed a couple local brews during our time there.  I was pleasantly surprised by the lupine, poppies, and orchards that grew wild there.  Plus all the fun, brightly colored buildings that grazed the bottom of a beautiful mountain scape.

ARGENTINA pt. 1 // PALERMO SOHO - BUENOS AIRES

Our first day / night in Argentina was mostly spent in Palermo soho.  After an overnight flight from Miami, we were quite exhausted upon arrival at 8am.  However, once we settled in to our hotel, we set back out to explore since we just had one night in this area.  We were close to cute shopping, really good restaurants, and a small open air market.  It was scorching hot and we were in much need of gelato by the end of the day (we got addicted during our stay).   At night we ate dinner at a jazz club and watched a great band perform.  Maybe one of my favorite meals; a roasted veggie, eggplant, and goat cheese flat bread.  Amazing.  We turned in early to hop on our next flight early in the morning.  We really liked this cute area and ended up returning to the market to buy some gifts when we got back to Buenos Aires! (after Antarctica)

More on Argentina soon!
