Athena - Chile - Ice cream, Art & Hiking

My favorite things- ice cream, art and hiking

Today was supposed to be the day that we took a tour of the largest winery in Chile, Concha y Toro. But because we couldn't get a hold of them to secure a reservation we decided to hold off and go tomorrow. With the late change in plans we weren't quite clear what to do with our day. In the end, we split up to explore different areas of the city. Tiffany and Lula went to the largest mall in the city, while Megan and I decided to checkout a museum and then go hiking. I think these choices pretty much represent our likes. Meg & I are much more the outdoorsy types and Lula and Tiffany are the resident fashionistas. There's nothing wrong with either approach and I'm glad that as a group we're cool splitting up and doing different things at times. Some people who travel together never like to split up. We've taken a more relaxed approach of just doing what you like.

Athena - Argentina - Recoleta: The Rich & the Dead

Recoleta

Today I embraced my inner tourist and visited the well-known area of Recoleta. This area is the wealthiest part of Buenos Aires and is known for its famous cemetery, museums and shopping. I took the subway (see my post about cultural misunderstandings for a funny story about my first subway trip) and then had to walk about 15ish blocks to get to the Recoleta Cemetery.
