Your travel4seniors.com editor recalls three memorable train rides. My first was in January 1942, when my Philly high school senior class went to Washington DC. I was impressed by the city, but remember the experience because it was a historic and hysterical time in U.S. history.

Every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the amazing displays at Plaza Dorrego in the barrio of San Telmo greet visitors. Along with the usual flea market and fresh food offerings, it’s the prime open-air antique market in the Argentinian capital.
