It was with mixed feelings and a little over 2 months after having arrived that I said adios to Argentina crossing the border at Iguazu into Brazil. Any reflection back upon my time spent in the country of tango, mate, asados & red wine and its amazing people can only be described as incredible. The experience had begun in Buenos Aires with a few days of preparation for the motorcycle trip followed by a 50 day journey through the south and center of the country following the Atlantic Ocean south 3500km until the southernmost city of the world, then westward to the southern beginnings of Andes, then tracing the spine of the Andes back north for 3500km (along indescribable sceneries: desolate deserts, snow covered mountains, crystal clear lakes, green forests etc.) to Mendoza and from there back eastward to Buenos Aires (via Cordaba and Rosario).

Being blessed with a flexible schedule I was able to enjoy amazing Buenos Aires for about 10 days before continuing on northward to Brazil and altogether it was my 3rd time to Buenos Aires I fell in love with it as if it had been the first time: most I enjoyed the diversity and distinct nature of the various neighborhoods each offering its own blend of architecture, culture, restaurants, cafes, parks and thus attracts a different crowd of people; a city great to explore by foot and almost more so than New York City, a city that does not sleep.

Gazing over the breathtaking waterfalls of Iguazu, filling my ears with thunder, my skin with goose bumps and my hair with fine moisture, the time had come to continue my trip to Brazil and said good bye to Argentina. I want to close once again by saying thank you to Argentina and all the people that have impacted and helped me have the unforgettable experience I had: Thank you!
