Last weekend, we went to Lavalle, an arid and barren region east of Mendoza. We went to see the sand dunes of the Altos Limpios and the small indigenous town of Asunción.

So Small, So Insignificant– The Paisaje of Argentina

When It’s Cold Outside, I Got the Month of May– Fall in Mendoza
This past week was, in a word, relaxed. Nothing too crazy during the week, so we piled all of our adventuring into the weekend, as usual. Kids’ science museum, asado, tango, and trekking. Ready?

Breathing that Good Air– Our Weekend in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina, and one of the largest metropolitan areas of South America (trumped only by São Paolo, Brazil). We spent the weekend in this sprawling city and were able to get to know a little bit of the history and culture.
