Day 209 - New Tires

This morning we dropped off Valerie & Chris at the train station. They are exploring the city today.

We stopped by Nestlé where Mr. Hellwig exchanged our traveler checks for the cash we needed to pay for the new tires. Then we drove to the dealer and had the new tires installed. Everything worked out as planned. Oh, what a nice feeling to drive on new tires. It feels like luxury, and the steering wheel turns so smoothly again.

In the afternoon, we also took the train into the city to explore the downtown and main shopping streets of Buenos Aires. We picked up brochures and information about the Argentine National Parks at the Tourist Office.

Then we met with Valerie & Chris and went to watch the movie "Butch Cassidy." Dinner together was at an Italian restaurant in La Boca. The food was excellent, but the atmosphere could have been better.
