Welcome Back

We entered the USA at the Washington Dulles airport and each went our own way home. Many hugs and good-byes were said. We've become a family and it was hard to part. We were met at the airport in Cedar Rapids, Iowa by our daughter and two grandsons!

Welcome home, Papa! Landon was glad to see us.

Little Owen was sleeping.

The Journey Home

Waiting for the first leg of a very long trip home - home with the GOLD!

Tired!! Jamy, the trainer.

A proud and satisfied Coach Showalter!

Packing Up

Last Day in Argentina

We went out for a morning of walking, shopping, and breakfast (pastries and hot chocolate). It is fall in Argentina, so notice the colored leaves. Most days that we were there it was sunny and probably up to 60 degrees. Even the nights when we were out we only needed a light-weight jacket. It was not as cold as we had expected.
