Comment about July trip 2008

Hi Andrea,
Wanted to let you know we had an easy trip home and are safe and sound. We've been editing our pictures today and reliving the incredibly wonderful time we had with you. I honestly don't think the trip could have been better in any way. Your expert and careful planning and attention to our every need and wish made us feel very well taken care of, and we both felt that we covered an amazing amount of ground. I had a list of highlights I'd gleaned from my guidebook that I'd hope to visit or experience, and we hit every one and more. We loved the depth and breadth of our experiences - everything from the vibrant city life to the beautiful estancia and delta, and, of course, the wonderful instruction and variety of milongas and shows. We don't know how you do it, but you are a gifted trip planner as well as a truly wonderful person. (We have some very cute pictures of you that we'll send along soon.)
Please tell Gato that we appreciate all of his efforts and kindness as well. Tom and I send you both our love and thanks for an
exceptional introduction to Buenos Aires and a very memorable vacation. We'll look forward to seeing in Modesto.
Lots of love, Barbara (July 2008)
