Our dream hotel in Buenos Aires is the Alvear Palace; the hotel where both Nelson Mandela and Shaquile O'Neal stayed when they visited this city. The hotel was built by Buenos Aires businessman and socialite Dr. Rafael de Miero, who had been to Paris in the early 1920s and wanted to bring some of that Belle Epoque grandeur to his then flourishing hometown.

We're definitely food lovers. This gift will go towards our Argentinian culinary tourism!

We've seen it in the movies and seen it on Dancing with the Stars and we can't wait to try learning Tango ourselves. Lucia and Gerry are Tango dance professionals in Buenos Aires, teaching since 2005. They use a modern pedagogue which invites the student to realize that a relaxed natural movement is key, to dancing, Tango.

The Teatro Colón is the #1 attraction in Buenos Aires. We can't wait to get a tour and see a show here! The theater is ranked the third best opera house in the world by National Geographic, and is acoustically considered to be amongst the five best concert venues in the world.

We're headed to the end of the Earth! Ushuaia is the capital of Tierra del Fuego. It is commonly regarded as the southernmost city in the world and is home to the largest colony of Magellan penguins! We're going to go walking with them!!!!!

We will spend a day outside of Ushuaia, discovering the natural wonders of the Tierra del Fuego province and learning about the culture and history of the region. On a catamaran cruise, we’ll go island-hopping through the famous Beagle Channel and marvel at the stunning flora and fauna, including penguins and sea lions. Then visit Estancia Harberton, the oldest ranch in the Argentinian Tierra del Fuego.

To get our life started together :)

We both love to cook and we can't wait to learn some traditional Argentinian recipes to bring back to California!
