Back Home

We're home!  It feels so good to be back.  Although with school just around the corner the to-do list and schedule are both filling up rapidly.  And 12 hours after we walked in the front door, our clean and tidy house left by the housesitters was a disaster.  The kids were so excited to see their toys everything was strewn from one end to the other.  And with suitcase contents spread everywhere and laundry piles growing, it's just plain depressing.

Our last day in Argentina we headed back downtown to visit the Opera House.  This was a magnificent building.  It's almost pointless to post pictures because they just don't do it justice.  But I'll put a couple up anyway.  We had a guided tour in English that took us through the main foyer, up the grand staircase, into the reception room, and finally the main hall.  It's a stunning room, and we happened to be there during a rehearsal.  So we sat in a box seat and listened to some beautiful singing and orchestra music.  I'm glad we were able to fit it in before we left.
