A quick in-flight video!
The view of The Andes as we approached Santiago was the most beautiful sight from a plane that I've ever seen...then Sofia threw up.
After landing in Buenos Aires, we checked into The Hotel Costa, a beautiful boutique hotel with a great suite and cute little pool for the girls to chill in...exactly what we all needed! Thanks Vooyko John.
The two Sofia's...ours to the left, right after we dropped our bags...poor baby!
Inside our suite at Hotel Costa
Sofia didn't listen to her father and mixed champagne with a local Argentinian beer...
The Sofia's lounging at Olsen's - a very hip restaurant where we had brunch with everyone the next day... The Kavanic's and The Matras
Inside Olsen's...very cool! Right out of 'Wallpaper'. The food was great too...you could basically design your own meal from a wide selection of choices...very smart!
Maya was great on the flight, and throughout our two weeks...she was a major chick magnet...see below! Our hotel mamasita staff loved her!

This mamasita ( gabriela: 4556 7838 Palermo ) wanted me so bad, but I told her I was married, and that it just could not, would not happen!
She had to settle for this midget...
We left Buenos Aires after 2 days of relaxing and sightseeing, and flew to Punta Del Este, Uruguay. We rented a beach house right on the ocean. A spectacular view, a gorgeous house and 24hr. maid service ( cooking and laundry included ) made for an unforgettable week.
Here's a typical view from our house in Punta
The beach at sunset...
The ocean crashing into the rocks just below our place...took too many of these, sorry!

After a week in Punta, we flew back to Buenos Aires for another 5 days. We chilled, ate at great restaurants, shopped, went sightseeing and some of us even stayed out until 6am the day before we left for home, and got in major shit from our wife !!!

Every morning I would walk to this neighbourhood cafe for Cafe Con Leche and the best little croissants we've ever had...
Ah yes, Kandi nightclub...my last stop before we headed home...left this place at 5:30 am and woke up the next day at 8 to pack for home...actually, I watched someone else pack from the bathroom.
An exterior view of our Condo in BA
One of the sites we visited was the famous Recoleta cemetary in BA. Eva Peron is buried here. The masoleums are beautiful, and in most of them, you can catch a glimpse of the caskets...some from the 1800's...Sofia loved this place...hated the beach in Punta...but loved the cemetery...???
Just threw this in because she so godamn cute !
these too...
Croissant and coffee place...sorry...got hungry
ok..dead people again...
Christine peering into see 'Evita'.

I don't think this is one of the sculptures...I think its the real dude. They forgot to bury him.
The best Ice Cream in the entire universe...no joke !
Freddo Video...
The playground again...this one was right across the street from us...
The night before we flew home, Sofia devoured a large pizza. The flight back was great, we gave her Gravol, and she passed out for 12 hours...
Hope you enjoyed our little pictorial...you must visit Buenos Aires...and if you ever go to Kandi...tell them Mark sent you! Buen Dias!
