I don't know how the contents of my bag keeps increasing after a few days when everything needs to go back in! Well thankfully I got everything to fit again and the taxi picked us up for the Aeroparque Airport. We were rather relieved that we finally found the gate as apparently it was on the board but then dropped off leaving us with no flight to reference the gate number.

This is the home of late tango singer Carlos Gardel and a lot o...

Day 4 of Spanish classes. For the first time I could actually comprehend a thing or two of what the Professora was saying.
