I arrived yesterday morning. Spent a few hours with my parents shooting the shit. I then went home to unpack but ended up having an hour long conversation with my neighbour. We have always exchanged pleasantries...but yesterday was a full on in depth conversation. Fascinating. From there I went to visit with my fabulous family; sister, bro-in law and nephew. LOVE THEM and missed them a lot. Just because I had to, I then went out for a couple drinks with one of my bffs and a friend of hers. Had an amazing time.
Because my trip was quite tame in the way of partying...I was feeling like I needed to get a little crazy last night. With that said, I am nursing my (mild) first hangover in 2 weeks. A job well done! LOL
So what can I tell you about my trip? It was nothing short of incredible. I missed my Dad so much and to get to spend as much time as I did with him...was a pleasure. From the day I arrived till the day I left, I was bustin ass. I had 4.5 days in Buenos Aires before we (my Dad, stepmom and myself) went to Uruguay's Punta Del Este to visit with my aunt and uncle and for some beach fun.
My time in Buenos Aires was all about family. I did end up going out for dinner almost every night with my Dad's friends; some of whom I know and some new ones. I always meet such fantastic people every time I go there. Such a treat. I did do some kick ass shopping as well. Man o man...I bought a dress for my cousin's wedding this spring. It's killer!!! Bought some 'knock 'em dead' shoes as well...x 2!! LOL I did also spend some time poolside working on my tan. It was a trip dedicated to tranquility and rest. I got just that! I started my days out with a coffee and media luna (a smaller version of a croissant) followed by a time out in the sun. From there I either caught up with some family for lunch or went shopping. Let's not forget that I did go to the military shooting range for some good fun with Dad. Check it out!
I got skills....LMAO!!! I wish you could see close up. You would be able to see that I shot up this guy's private parts. LOL
As I mentioned earlier, I went out for dinner almost every night. In fact, I think there was only one night in my whole vacation that I did not eat out at a restaurant. That one night my Dad made a killer paella...mmmm! Just thinking about makes my mouth water. LOL Here's a pic for ya;
I have to tell you that one of my vices is Dulce De Leche. If you don't know what this is...it is sort of like Caramilk but WAY better! You can eat it by itself or with things like fruit or a crepe or ice cream or whatever. It is amazing no matter what you do with it. In my case, I ate it with strawberries. MMMMM!!!
After my brilliant time in Buenos Aires....I went to Uruguay's Punta Del Este. This place has officially taken second place in favorite places of the world. I WILL buy a house there to have as a summer home....one day! Mark my words. It will happen. Aside from being just mind blowing beautiful, it has such an aura of brilliance that is just calling my name. I plan on sailing there as often as I can whenever I get my boat. LOL Take a look and see why I feel this way....
This view belongs to a terrace at this notorious hotel/museum place called Casa Pueblo. I will stay here one day. Was thinking about booking this place for a trip I am planning with a bff for 2014. Oh ya baby! LOL What makes this place so magical is that it is a peninsula located on north east corner of Uruguay and totally surrounded by water. The northern portion of the peninsula is ocean side and thus a little less quiet than the southern side which is facing the river that divides Uruguay from Argentina. Please note....this River is ginormous. The pic you see is of the river side...wild, no?. I spent the 4 days that I had there with my aunt and uncle. My Dad and stepmom stayed in a hotel. My aunt's is house amazing, full of charm. It is all open concept on the main floor with panoramic views given by floor to ceiling windows...I am hoping to buy it from her one day...if she doesn't sell it before I can get it. Fingers crossed! LOL
And so my friends...my 9 day vacation in South America has once again been off the charts. I am so so so fortunate that all I can do is be thankful. I want to say thanx to my Dad and my Aunt and Uncle for making this trip as amazing as it was. LOVES!!!!
