Naturally, we begin in the very cosmopolitan city of Buenos Aires.  Click on the photo (right) of our upscale shopping area and join us in Buenos Aires to begin this fantastic historic expedition.

This is a great area for bargains - I bought a genuine Rolex wrist watch from a street vendor for 50 pesos (about fourteen US Dollars).  I know it was genuine - he told me that it was, and an Argentine street peddler wouldn't lie - would he?  There was a slight problem - the time never changed, so I went back to him and in my broken Spanish and his broken English, he said it needed a new battery so to make it easier - he took back this Rolex and handed me a genuine Mont Blanc and he assured me that this too, was a genuine Mont Blanc.....and this one actually kept the correct time! What a great deal, eh?  Okay, I know these were cheap imitations probably made in China, but I had forgotten my Sharkhunters watch back home in the USA and I needed to be able to tell the time so fourteen bucks American was a small price to pay even if it only lasted throughout the time of the Expedition.

Enough laughing - click the photo (right) and let's visit Argentina.....
