And to resist the urge to join the traveling circus

At long last.

The final round of pictures... for now!

[Post hot springs morning reveals this pretty little town with a name I can neither find nor remember.  Did I dream it all up?]

[Black rock river canyon on the way from Chos Malal to San Rafael.]

[Funny rock formations in Canyon de Atuel.]

[Canoe on the lake in Canyon de Atuel.]

[Back in Buenos Aires.]

[Trying to explain to the valet about the filthy car at the fancy Hilton.]

[Goodbye car!  Goodbye CG!  That's a total of 10858 km (6786 miles).]

[On to Teatro Colon (built in 1908 and recently reopened after extensive refurbishment.  Supposedly one of 5 venues in the world that has perfect acoustics) and Karen!!]

[Exquisite marble]

[Mosaic fan flooring-- 300+ tiles for each fan, all hand placed]



[Bizarre set for "El Gran Macabro."  This is the first performance at Teatro Colon in 4 years.]

[The lights of Teatro Colon.]

[Well translated sign at the Museo Evita.  The rest of the museum was pretty much the same.  Not worth a visit if you are ever in Buenos Aires.]

[Mediocre dinner during obligatory visit to Barrio Chino (Chinatown).]

[Graciela gave us tickets to see an open air Placido Domingo concert.  Karen, as you can see, had to be dragged downtown.]

[Either Karen smells or everyone is afraid of the "china."]



[Lunch at Fundacion PROA]

[After a satisfying lunch, two girls hit the self timer.]

[Louise Bourgeois spider in front of Fundacion PROA.]

[Goodbye lovely Karen.  Goodbye Buenos Aires...]
