BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA - Day 3
On our final day in Buenos Aires I wanted to go back to Recoleta area and due the Cemiterio tour. It turns out it was Lori's birthday and she wanted to do the same thing and had arranged to me a guide at 11 am, Scott also joined in and we had a great time! The tour was a combination architectural keeping up with the Jones and the added bonus of a fun ghost tour with great stories on some of the resident spirits!

After the tour we went to see the Lotus in Parque Thays. It was a gift to the city. The petals open and close at night.
I write this post with a heavy heart, tragedy has struck our happy Community. One of our much loved, founding residents had a heart attack and sadly didn't recover, as we sailed to Moorea.
I threw together an impromptu Bachelorette party for Angie tonight! Angie and Gian are getting married for a third time in Hawaii next week.They will be alone this time and it turns out she never had a Shower or Bachelorette to celebrate her first 2 marriages on the Ship, last May! Our girl deserved a fun night to celebrate her! So we took over a section the outdoor seating at Les 3 Brassuers, and their great band had us all up dancing! It's amazing what you can do with a bunch of WhatsApp messages to fellow ladies, some tulle, sparkles and always handy flower lei's ! One of the ladies even went and bought her some lingerie! I love our supportive community!
I got to go Sailing Again! We were supposed to head to the COOK ISLANDS after the lovely Rangiroa and the Tuamotu Archipelago, but due to stormy weather there, with all unprotected tender ports, they made the decision to head us southwest, back to the protected port in Papeeta (Tahiti). We got lucky and Holly ( pictured below) found us a sailboat available for charter.
