It was a 14-hour flight from Paris to Buenos Aires, where I changed airports and waited at Aeroparque a couple of hours. The bus from Ezeiza to Aeroparque drove on a wide, modern freeway before venturing into the streets of Agrentina's capital; as I was wondering why we left the freeway, the answer appeared before my eyes: said freeway ends abruptly, and was left unfinished.
At least it gave me a chance to glance at Buenos Aires again, a city I love. I had some sweet, delicious croissant-like medialunas and had a cortado (similar to an Italian caffè macchiato), the latter at an airport cafe amusingly called La Madeleine... Then a small airplane flew me over the Rio de la Plata to Montevideo, where my grandma was waiting for me. In balmy weather and Uruguay's beautifully rich light, we drove me to Punta del Este, somme 110km (75 miles) away.Home at last!

Ah, that "mezza luna" makes me wish I were there! Have you tried them with a slice of cheese?
"Media luna con queso" or "media luna con jamon y queso", my favorite, but not for vegetarians!

How absolutely delightful to go home to your grandmother. I loved visiting mine on Prince Edward Island, especially when I was grown up (!) and we could connect on a more mature level. Have a wonderufl stay.
Thanks for sharing your adventures and photos. Your life seems to be full of travelling. It is nice for me who is mostly "sitting at home" to travel with you. I am looking to see and read your next posts.

Oooooh! How lovely! I myself am a big fan of media lunas though we refer to it as croissants around here...
But do tell me more about the grandmother. She seems such a colorful character.
love love the freeway image with the rebarb hanging out...almost visceral. also, the way everything is on a "tilt" it adds a hint of tipsy tirvy... enjoy!
