So it snowed

It snowed in Buenos Aires for the first time since 1918 on Monday night. No big deal except that we planned on flying to Bariloche on Tuesday at 11am. Our 2 hour flight was delayed 10 hours. Apparently they do not have de-icer in most cities in Argentina and the planes were grounded on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning.

We sat on the floor of the airport for 10 hours and were astonished that our plane left. It was a crazy place to be, people everywhere.

Upon arrival we learned that Bariloche had a major power outage and all of the city was without lights. We had a candle light breakfeast on Wed. before the power was restored at 9am. Shortly after we jumped on the bus to the ski hill but most lifts were closed due to lack of power.

What a crazy couple of days.
