Although it was June when I went to Argentina, Buenos Aires was unseasonably warm. Most days I did not even need a jacket. After spending about a week in the city we ventured out ( by over night bus) to Mendoza. The wine capital of Argentina!

The Statue of Liberty and What Freedom Means to Me

New Dehli : Finding Tranquility in Chaos
