We arrived at the Buenos Aires airport and were met by our local guides, Noonie and Joaquin (JR). We boarded busses for a quick tour of the Recoleta area including the church and cemetery. The day before was Evita Peron's birthday, so her grave was decorated with flowers and letters. After a quick lunch in chaperone groups we saw the Boca Juniors' soccer stadium and the waterfront area called La Boca, the location of the founding of the tango, where the boys shopped and wandered the very quaint streets. That night we had our first steak dinner and visited a tango show at the famous Viejo Almacen.

This morning the boys visited the Buenos Aires zoo. You can find zoo pictures in Peter Coniers's pictures. Some of the highlights of the zoo were the many variations of swimming rodents, the lions, the albino tigers, the hippos, the rhinos, the enormous peacock and the llamas and yaks. They also enjoyed riding the carousel.

The afternoon exchange with Coro Kennedy, a local girl's choir was cancelled due to fears of H1N1. We then decided that they forfeited the soccer game and called ourselves the winners.

The boys rehearsed that afternoon in the hotel conference room.

We went to Club Ferrocarril Oeste stadium to play soccer. Blue bus challenged Red bus and Red bus triumphed. Some of the men joined in, and suffered sore muscles for the next few days.

Dinner that night was at a local sports bar/restaurant where the boys had many different varieties of pizza, including one that was nothing but cheese and onions.

After a short bus tour of Buenos Aires, we left for Lujan. The Basilica de Nuestra Senora Lujan is known for being a famous pilgrimage site. We toured the beautiful basilica, walked around town and had a group lunch where we sang Happy Birthday to our nurse, Kathy.

That night the boys sang in the basilica. They were very cold as the basilica had no heat. The audience loved them, and some stayed after the concert to meet the boys and take pictures with them.

Today we visited La Estacia de Santa Susana for a Fiesta Gaucha. The morning started with a gaucho show. The gauchos demonstrated horsemanship skills that included herding their horses and a contest where they grab small rings while riding at full speed. Following the gaucho show, each boy had a chance to ride a horse and go for a wagon ride. Then we had a wonderful asado lunch that included different varieties of salads and meats. The meats were filets, chicken, pork sausage and blood sausage. After lunch we were treated to a wonderful show of folkloric dances. After the dancers performed, the boys treated them to a short selection of songs that included their song in Spanish, Viene clareando. We then boarded the busses for a 2 hour ride to La Plata. The boys rehearsed in the cathedral, ate a box dinner and then performed a concert that night. Two other choirs joined us that night - one from Atlanta, Georgia and the other from South Africa. While the cathedral was very beautiful and had tremendous acoustics, it was very cold!

Today we had a very early start. We were up before the sun to eat a quick breakfast and catch the ferry to Colonia, Uruguay. We rode on a Buquebus ferry that was very comfortable and had good food. After we arrived in Colonia, we stopped at a market to change money and buy lunch for the bus. We had a very long ride to Salto and many of the boys slept soundly. The busses didn't arrive in Salto until almost dinner time. So, we walked a little had dinner, and walked a little more. Some groups found beautiful asado restaurants down by the river. On one side of the river we were in Uruguay and the other side of the river was Argentina.

Today we visited the thermal springs called Salto Grande. The boys played at a parque acuatico that included slides, a wave pool, a pool with a volleyball net, massaging showers and hot tubs. The chorale mostly stuck to the hot tubs.

We had lunch back in Salto and rehearsed at Teatro Larranaga. Dinner was provided for the entire choir by the mayor of Salto.

That night we had a concert to celebrate the re-opening of Teatro Larranaga. The mayor and other dignitaries spoke before the concert to a packed house. After the concert, the mayor presented Jeff Smith with a picture of the newly renovated theater. We also sang Happy Birthday to Alex Barnett.

We left Salto, in the rain, headed for Colonia del Sacramento. We arrived in sunny Colonia, six hours later, for a delicious lunch of chivito al plato. (See pictures) After lunch, the boys spent the afternoon wandering the historic and picturesque streets and squares. Many climbed the lighthouse. They rehearsed in the afternoon at Teatro Bastion del Carmen to prepare for the concert that night. The concert was a resounding success. The audience gave them a standing ovation and asked for two encores. After the concert, many boys met the audience in the lobby and agreed to pictures. We had a quick dinner and left for Montevideo.

After arriving very late last night, we spent the day in Montevideo. We took a bus tour of the city which included Plaza de la Constitution and the waterfront areas. The boys had some time to shop for gifts at a market and then headed to rehearsal. They had an early dinner at the hotel before their last concert at Auditorio Nelly Goitino.

Our last day in South America! Today we spent most of the day walking around Montevideo, sightseeing, and purchasing last minute gifts. Many of the boys visited the Museo del Gaucho, the pedestrian walkway and market in the city, the Mercado del Puerto and the Museo del Carnaval. After an early dinner, where we sang Happy Birthday to Will Connell, we headed to the Montevideo Airport. In front of the restaurant, we posed for pictures. As we were posing, people stopped their cars to watch and when they found out that the boys were a "coro" they asked them to sing.
