WINDING DOWN, DOWN, DOWN IN ARGENTINA

Judy Manton Jacobson was in Argentina for three days in December after a cruise from Rio de Janeiro aboard the Azamara Journey. In Buenos Aires, she stayed at the Alvear Palace, a hotel dating to the 1930s. Its spiral staircase caught her attention immediately. “When I got to the top, I looked down at the incredible sight of the winding staircase and couldn’t resist taking a shot!” she said. The Encino resident used her iPhone 5s.
