The perfect way to end our trip...

Argentina beat Uruguay in the last game of the World Cup qualifying games! It was the perfect way for us to end our time here (Argentina now goes directly to the World Cup in South Africa in 2010). After driving us around the north side of the city, Noelia, Ezequiel, Chris and I went to a bar to watch the game.


Here we are at the bar, drinking coffee, watching the game. It was very nerve-wracking during the first half... 0-0 score.


Inside the bar, after Argentina scored the game winning goal... the place erupted in cheers and high-fives which I was too caught up in to take a picture. But Ezequiel had this smile on his face for the rest of the night. I love this picture!

We just wished our boys (and the McLeans) were here to experience it as well. They would have LOVED it.

We leave today at 5:30 pm Argentine time (1:30 pm CA time), have a layover in Chile, and then travel to LAX where we land at 6:50 am CA time.

Hasta pronto, amigos. :)
