so Q just had to take some pics of me working at the TO airport too. Too bad we didn't have a proper table to sit at.

Glad we packed our gear and thankfully arrived in Buenos Aires on schedule!

We arrived on December 28th: our 10th Anniversary :) Q surprised me by booking a swanky hotel, and giving me a gorgeous ring from Tiffany's. It's a torque ring carved out of Ebony wood. What a sweetie!

She's also confessed to booking supper at the best restaurant in Buenos Aires (whos name she won't reveal) where apparently all the celebrities eat, but that will have to wait until we return from the vineyards. After one night's stay, it was time to hop on yet another plane to head north to Salta: far off the beaten path and known as "The Tuscany" of Argentina.

Thankfully it was a short flight, but then we had to bus it for 3 more hours to the remote vineyard hidden in the valley.

In total, it would take over 30 hours to arrive at our destination. At least we weren't traveling like these guys :)

Buenos Aires is suprisingly first world and reminds us of many other bustling big cities in North America. Salta is, in stark contrast, *very* different. Below are some scenes caught from our bus trip.

We were headed from Salta to Cafayate, wine-lovers country :)

We were surprised by the quickly changing tundra of the gorgeous landscapes. Sections were reminiscent of Panama, Moab, Sedona, hoodoos of Alberta and even the Valley of Fire, and changed surprisingly quickly.

Signs you're not in Buenos Aires anymore: Lama Anyone?

It was unmistakably wine country by the end of the trip.

Sure glad our clients have GREAT taste .... our winery at which we'd be staying ...

Just outside our room was this courtyard ...

Can definitely see why they wanted to come back to get married here.

Time to catch some zzzz's. It'll be a couple more days of shooting, but we can't complain: it's gorgeous here and the entire crew of people are wonderful :)

Tough job, but somebody's gotta do it ;)

Stay warm and hug the ones you love!
