Morning Rain Canceled Kayak Tour


Morning rain canceled our trip north for our kayak and bike tour, but that didn't slow us down. We headed to Florida Street and plenty of shopping, then on to lunch at Cafe Tortoni, Bueanos Aires' version of Harry's Bar in Venice. Cafe Tortoni was the gathering spot for writers and artists at the turn of the last century, today it is a must see tourist spot.




We left the cafe to find the sun shining bright and hot! On to the Reserva Ecologica, an everglades conservation area filled with exotic birds, plants and trails. We rented bikes and surprise - managed to cover every trail in the reserve! Trail Map (green trail) It was beautiful and make me think of the ocean, the Cape Cod bike trail, the Jones River and marsh lands of the cape all at the same time. Man was it hot! Water never tasted so good!

  1. Sounds like a great time and a bit like Costa Rica and Belize. Can you believe it is in the 60's here! All of that snow that sent you off will be melted by the time you are back. Have a safe trip and bring some sunshine!
