HOME: Reflecting on Buenos Aires Adventures
We made it home…9 weeks, 3 countries and a million ice creams later, we’re back. Reflecting on the trip it seems like it went by fast and slow. We met some amazing people, made new close family friends, and were able to experience parts of the world we hadn’t thought we would before. Mae loved having friends most of all, and swimming in a hotel pool. Emma loved riding horses, and all the playgrounds that had seesaws. Will loved playgrounds and probably everything else.
Mom and dad loved eating nice food, cafes, and the feeling of being in a city, without the need to worry about the common anxieties of domestic life.
Most all, we loved time together as a family, walking around, exploring, and just being together. This blog has given us a path for our journey, from the craziness at the airport as we departed to Buenos Aires, through our adventures in the city, and visits to other countries. If anything this trip taught us how great other cultures are to ground our realities and value systems. The way you learn about yourselves is to be exposed to different ways of daily life. We learned about culture and tradition, and were able to see the better and worst attributes of different approaches to raising kids, education, social life, etc. It was an amazing experience, that will hopefully be really grounding for our children.
Here are a few final pictures from the last day and travel home…and the final cute will pics of our travels. Will won’t be cute much longer. So these have to last.
Love,
Amy, Emma, Mae, Will & Paul
