We flew out of Boise July 28th, 2005, headed for South America. Fifteen hours later our dear friends, Dave and Mayrene Bickmore, picked us up at the airport in Quito, Ecuador.
 |
| The Bickmore's were just finishing an 18 month humanitarian mission This picture is of the mission home |
 |
| We went on a short tour of the city as we knew we would be back to Quito in a week or two |
 |
| We drove about 10 miles out of Quito to where we would be staying in between traveling time. The home of ----------------------------------- Bickmore's had hosted their son as a foreign exchange student some years earlier |
 |
| We settled into our bedroom, caught up from jet lag and repacked or bags to leave for Argentina |
 |
| Another long plane ride, our flight was late arriving so by the time we picked up our luggage, got a taxi, and arrived at our Hotel, they had given up our room |
 |
| so we sleep in the lounge, until we could check in |
 |
| We toured the City |
 |
| It is large and very modern |
 |
| We went to church at Quilmez Ward on our first Sunday in Buenos Aires |
 |
| Rob had served in Quilmez as a young missionary. This small classroom used to be his apartment |
 |
| Crouded walking street where a youth tried to steal Rob's camera. |
 |
| The great thinker |
 |
| Lindy's first subway ride EVER |
 |
| About 45 minutes out of Buenos Aires we took a boat ride down the Delta del Parana |
 |
| This is where some of the rich people of Buenos Aires live |
 |
| Not leaving until the afternoon, having dinner on the boat, we were able to return at sunset. It was very beautiful |
 |
| I got a kick out of the dog sitters. A coveted profession in Buenos Aires |
