We got up at the crack of dawn because ship tours start early, and today they were extra eager to get us off the ship :). We gathered the rest of our stuff, packed our money belt and under shirt money belt, had breakfast in Moderno, and went to the theater for our tour meeting time. There were multiple tours meeting. Our group had someone missing, and someone really confused. They were looking at her ticket because she was not sure where she should be. Or, maybe she was missing her traveling companion. Too early for her too. So, we had to wait. We then walked in a line to scan our key cards for the last time. It was not on the grand entrance deck 5; we had to go out deck 3. It was nice; they had crew from different depts saying goodbye. As far as I recall, we got through customs and found luggage quickly. We then had trouble with me losing my water. We found it and boarded the coach.

I got a picture before leaving the room of the navigation showing us having sailed 4000 nm.

Discovering the very light traffic. We went by the flower art. It opens and closes each day.

This was part of the holiday. It was a remembrance for the 30,000 people killed; called Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice. They were setting up for a demonstration at our first stop. We had some time to walk around. Demonstration signs on the church.

The current Pope previously worked at this church.

Blue sign for the people who disappeared.

The three themes: Truth, Justice, and Remembrance.

At this stop, we walked over to the Casa Rosada Building -- executive mansion and office of the President. There were police here (unlike Uruguay).

Banco Patagonia. After this stop, we passed the Russian style onion dome church. Eva and obelisk together. One more of the Teatro Colón. Light up signs like NYC.

Next stop, the cemetery. This was the only duplication from the day before. We were trying to compare when planning.

Stained glass to display for those inside. Looking at how it looks inside from a window.

We did not stay here as long today.

The picture was not behaving, but I could not do a South American review without showing a fútbol stadium.

Our third stop -- La Boca. After they told us not to come to this area without a tour guide, then let us have free time to roam around on our own.

Noted as the typical materials used in these immigrant dock workers housing, where multiple families live together.

In La Boca, we stopped at a locals grocery store, and you guessed it -- got some candy for the plane ride later. There was also some neat art for sale, but we did not have enough Argentinian cash left. We also needed to find our older son a souvenir still.

Our tour group reconnected, and we would get an extra stop today due to the light traffic putting us ahead of schedule and too early for the lunch stop.

I liked the colorful sidewalk.

I liked this area; I'm glad we got to spend some time here since I had wore out the day before. I had seen others' pictures of it.

Woman Bridge. We also saw some row boats in the water.

We were rejoined by the other buses from NCL shore excursions. When the restaurant was ready for us, we had a group of tables assigned. Lunch was at an Italian restaurant. It had a big salad bar, some pastas, a meat grill like Montevideo's, and a pizza stone oven. They came around and provided sodas, in a glass bottle, and bottled water to drink and breads. Other food was buffet style. Dessert was a chocolate fountain; good but a slow line. (On chocolate fountains, there is normally one on the cruise ship next to the ice cream and crepe station in the evening, but it was missing this time.)

After lunch, it was off to the airport.

We rode along the countryside some to get to the airport. We did get to the airport very early. Normally, the tour should get there around 2:30 pm. We had an American flight around 7:30 pm; it was direct to DFW. Their desk was not open yet... We ran into this in Vancouver too. American has a hub in DFW, so I'm not used to the idea of them being not open. We found a seat (though was not easy) and got as comfortable as possible.

When American's desk opened, they still monitored and slowly let people into the winding line -- I'm not sure why. After checking our luggage and checking in, we went to security where I had trouble. I cross-stitch and had my plastic box with threads and little scissor that can fold into the handle. They were trying to find the scissor. We spoke different languages, so I could not help them find it. After they found it, they were okay with it but needed to confirm. We then needed to find water and a snack. We got water from vending machines; they were difficult and did not want to work and take bills. We finally got two. For a snack, options were limited. My husband had alfajores (a dolce de leche sandwich cookie) that he liked; I just had Doritos.

We got our oldest son a keychain in the shape of Argentina that said "Yo <3 Argentina". Our kids collect keychains on their school backpacks.

When we boarded, we learned that we had to go through security again, and that the water we worked so hard on could not be taken onboard! Okay...this is an 14 hour flight; I cannot have water that we purchased inside security of your airport. The flight attendants are going to invest little time in keeping me in water during this flight. We each took a last gulp and threw away the water. Grrr!

We had the seats in the 2nd to last row where there was only 2 instead of 3 seats to have our own row. I was not able to sleep, so I watched three movies -- Edge of Seventeen, Date Night, and one other that I forgot. I spared you my review of the airplane restrooms, so -- sorry -- sharing now. They need to clean them mid-flight on such long flights. Yuck! I went once toward the beginning - okay; the second time I waited for an older couple who were tag teaming using the restroom -- after I had seen been both get a turn, I darted in between them. Restroom was dirty! I came out; they were still there. I refused to go again in the last 2 hours of the flight.

We landed at 5am. We got through immigration and customs quickly. We had our passports preloaded into a passport control app. We completed the customs form on the plane, and app created a QR code for us each to scan at customs. There was a designated line for this app, so we showed a person the phone for immigration. There was a booth with officer for customs where I had to scan both QR codes. I was slow at this and felt bad, but no one was in line behind us. It seems it would not work well if everyone from the plane was using this system.

We then requested an Uber and got in the wrong one -- it was crazy, I have never had/caused this problem before. The guy was so nice to be working at 5am on Saturday morning, and we had just had an 14 hour flight with no sleep.

We got home, showered, and had breakfast. When it was a reasonable time, we went to pick up our kids.
