Honeymoon pics!

And finally, without further ado…

Our honeymoon pictures! Sorry for the long wait. But as Sarah well knows, I’m get-it-right which means my projects take longer. She’s get-it-done, which means she’s had wedding pictures up for three months already. Better late than never for me, right? On with the show. There’s lots of pictures, spread over a few pages, so at the bottom of each, click the next page number you want to go to.


Sarah and I flew to Argentina. We went on a two city tour over 5 fantastic days. It was an amazing trip, one we’ll never forget. Take a look…Here we are, just arrived at the airport and ready for our flight out of the country!

Our first stop (not counting the brief layover in Lima, Peru, which we only saw from the comfort of our LAN1 plane) was the huge city of Buenos Aires. We stayed at the swanky Vista Sol hotel, a very modern and posh building in the heart of the city. It kind of felt like a movie at spy movie at first, where outside is a bustling dirty city street and as soon as the glass doors slid open, it’s all luxuriously fancy inside. The ground floor level was entirely glass, and at the check-in counter you could see the cafeteria a floor below. Very cool.

Here’s the inside of our hotel room:

Admittedly, the brochure made our room seem much larger, but we didn’t mind much. It was an almost entirely automated room, for which enhanced its geek cred. For instance, the lights turned off automatically as soon as you locked the front door upon leaving. Also, the motorized window shade only worked when the window was shut. Other than the AC not working that well and some window shade mishaps, we loved the tiny place.

We took a day-long city tour and saw some of the great cultural highlights.

This is the amazingly beautiful Catholic church in the heart of the capital. The doors were at least 10 feet tall, and this picture really doesn’t do justice for its size.

Here’s one of the massive sculptures inside the cathedral.

The tour bus dropped us off in the shopping area of La Boca. It’s an Italian district of B.A. with very bright colors and quaint buildings. It felt very old world.

At the edge of La Boca is the port.

All sorts of ships, from the dilapidated to the cruise liner, crowded the docks.

On the harbor was this bizarre art on display. Or was it some sort of brush car wash? You got me.

  1. Sar and I would gladly fly LAN airlines exclusively, if only they flew domestically. Seriously, it’s a great airline with lots of frills []

    It was so fun to look at all your pictures. What a wonderful adventure you were able to have! My favorite pic is Up On The Mountain with the lake view. You should frame that one!
