Carter, Courtney, my dad and I all got up early to head into Buenos Aires for the Pastores Tour.
Getting there we had a really funny experience that makes me laugh every time I think about it. We were behind a car that was trying to wash its windshield, on the freeway. Not only was it rude, but it looked to us like the water was shooting straight over the car on onto us. We thought maybe the guy was giving his whole car a wash! My dad, being a boy for the moment and not really a mission president, zoomed in front of the car and put on his windshield sprayer. Needless to say, the guy backed right off. We laughed so hard, especially when we realized we had missed our exit to make our retribution. Ah, it was worth it.
It was a gorgeous morning at the Casa Rosada where we met up with the missionaries.
We enjoyed the tour through the Teatro Colon once again. The tour was in Spanish this time, but I was impressed with how much my kids remembered.
The kids were fans of the buffet lunch. They thought sticking their fingers in the cow's nose was hilarious. The missionaries said they wished they were 10 years old so they could do it too.
Lovely views from the Puente de la Mujer.
My artistic Courtney fell head over heels in love with Boca. She loved the colorful buildings and ramshackle architecture.
Then we went to Recoleta cemetery where we visited Evita's grave and touched the dog's nose once again. Touching the nose guarantees you will come back to Buenos Aires.
We got a surprise outside when my mom, Dan, Izzy and Jonah all showed up. We went shopping with the missionaries for Toms and gifts for their moms and future spouses.
Jonah, Dan, Elder Schmile and Elder Foster all bought matching Toms. (I went back later and got a matching pair too!)
On the way home we stopped for ice cream swords.
The kids chowed down!
Jonah's sword holder broke and he somehow managed to explain to the worker that he wanted a new one.
