Argentina has been on my bucket list for quite some time. Ever since reading TimFerris’ blog post called: How to live like a rock star (or Tango Star) in Buenos Aires…, I just had to go.

We saw no less then a half a dozen instances of people just breaking out into dance as we walked through the very colorful Caminito area.

I’m a few posts behind so I decided to share two posts in one. Back in early April, one of our dearest friends, Nick, made a voyage from Connecticut to our corporate apartment all the way in Maryland.

His visit was chalked full of laughs and sight-seeing.
More recently (early May), Kathleen and I decided to hit a few special sites that have just plain eluded us since we started our temporary living situation in Maryland. We hit the following hot spots: Arlington Cemetery, Thomas Jefferson Memorial and the amazing George Washington estate in Mount Vernon.
