Dear David,

I wanted to let you know that Eddie did such a wonderful job hosting this photo safari.  He treated the entire group as guests of his home country.  He knew that most of us had a limited understanding of Spanish and went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that we felt comfortable.  He was so flexible and offered  us several suggestions and options for our daily outings and even stayed late to have dinner with us, translate ;-) have fun, get to know us, and also offered outstanding photographic advice on how to get the best angle on a particular point of interest and how to set the lighting on our cameras, etc.  Eddie made the trip that much more enjoyable because of his extra effort.  As a result, we were able to experience Buenos Aires far beyond what a traditional tourist would see on a typical tour.  He showed us Buenos Aires from a personal perspective, providing all of the history and answering all of our questions so openly and honestly.  He was a great tour guide, and I am so glad that I had  the opportunity to experience Buenos Aires from "his eyes."

Thanks again for offering such a fantastic trip and tour guide,

Sincerely,

Kathy Passmore

Kathy, you are so right...Eddie was the best part of Buenos Aires! We are so fortunate to have had him. Can't wait till we all start sharing photos.

Sorry I missed you at BWI. I stopped at the TSA and got forms and phone numbers to file a claim on my camera, or, possibly even get it BACK! I guess they sometime remove cameras and such, and although they usually return them, sometimes they forget. So , I'll keep everyone posted!

Eddie –

Cannot thank you enough for being such an outstanding guide during the Buenos Aires trip.  It was a thoroughly delightful time!

It was so helpful for us to have you show us where to go for just the best shots, and how to shoot each subject.  I learned so much, especially about how to take better people pictures, which was what I most wanted to learn.

Thanks again for everything! (and let’s start planning for Cuba)

David,
The photo safari to Buenos Aires was magnificent.
Eddie was the consummate guide and instructor.  Not only did we see, touch and smell Buenos Aires, but he provided an opportunity for us to glimpse into the soul of Argentina.  This made the difference between photos of "what I did on my summer vacation" and our photos of the spirit of Argentina.

Eddie was every attentive to everyone's needs and desires to make this trip memorable.  Personally, on the morning of the second day, I faced a potential disaster.  For the first time, I had changed the flash card on my new digital SLR.  I was a little too enthusiastic.  I jammed the pins in the body of the camera and two of them were touching.  Eddy calmly approached the problem.  We stepped into the antique store we were standing in front of and he asked the woman in the store if she could help us.  She happily offered a long needle and crochet hook.  Eddie was able to reposition the pins and gently inserted the new flash card.

With Eddie providing us with the opportunity to experience the spirit and soul of Argentina, it became a trip of a life time.

I look forward to taking future photosafaris.

Sincerely,
Ann
