Back in B.A.

We are back in B.A. after momentarily scaring ourselves with the thought maybe we still had the wrong time, but that was not the case. Except for the time snafu earlier, Aerolineas was basically good. They even feed you, which regular readers will know was a ham sandwich. Plane left on time, bags arrived safe, and a guy with a pair of pliers fixed the plane before we left. O.K., he pulled out an exposed fastener on the seat in front of mine that was in danger of stabbing me in the knee, but there is something oddly disconcerting when a repairman arrives on the scene equipped with only pliers. We can only wonder what the other passengers were thinking.

The new digs in B.A. aren´t as fancy as what we just left, but it is an interesting colonial style building and the staff is friendly. More later, off to explore another section of town...

Hello you crazy kids. You actually stayed on a plane that was being fixed with a screwdriver. You must have had some wine in you for courage.
I do hope this Thanksgiving table will have a bottle of wine from your trip - sounds like you found some good ones. Wine country there looks lovely and sounds like it's right up there with some of your favorites from CA.
Once again, even seasoned travelers can be fooled by the change of time but at least you finally reached BA.
