Beattys Overseas

We were SO bummed to leave Argentina! 
Goodbyes to Thuy and Marty (Pura Vida owner)We fell in love with the country, especially Buenos Aires, where we had made a nice little life for ourselves in the past month.  Our final day was spent packing, and lunching with my beloved yoga teacher Thuy at our beloved lunch joint, Pura Vida.  We reluctantly left our cozy studio apartment and sat in a 50-minute taxi ride to the Buenos Aires Airport.  Our airport experience left A LOT to be desired, with long lines and inefficient crowd-control.  Soon enough, we were quite cranky and actually wanting to leave Argentina.
Adiós Argentina 

Our flights from Argentina (Buenos Aires to Chicago, Chicago to San Francisco) made for a total of 17 hours of air travelling time. We were pretty exhausted by the time we touched down in San Francisco, but pumped to be back in the States.  With happy memories of communicating enthusiastically with our Spanish, Portugese, German, Italian, French and Africaan-speaking friends, our mouths & minds were relieved to be fluent once again... in English! 
Happy Easter!We headed south in our rental car, 2 hours to Whitney's parents house in Gilroy, California.  There are plans for a get-together with family friends on Saturday night, Easter Sunday with the nieces & nephews and 89-year-old Grandma, and lots of bops over to the beach.  You can see all our photos in our album, where the family fun speaks for itself.
