January 4th - It's time to go home




We loaded up our suitcases and waited for the La Launcha to pick us up for the 2 hour journey back to the town of Tigre. We have waaay too much luggage. We are sad to leave our little oasis here in South America.

Next time we travel we each bring a back pack only!
We spent the day exploring Tigre, shopping for gifts to take home and eating all our favourite things. It will be years before we get back here again.

One of the biggest Mate cup collections we had seen. This one was made from a hoof.

Our last lunch was a bottle of Quilmes stout, a huge loaf of bread and a charcuterie of local meats and cheeses, fantastic. 


The next 20 hours will be spent on a train, a cab, a plane and then into my parents vehicle at the Calgary airport where we will return to everyday life. We'll miss our travels in South America but leave knowing Remy and I will be back in another 9years after retirement and the purchase of a converted sprinter van to get us there. See you soon!
