Boedo Bed & Breakfast Buenos Aires

... The guy refused to pick up the money and said something through the vent in the glass. "Pardon me" I asked. "No Dogs!" he said pointing at Salina. "Whatever" I said walking out thinking there were plenty of other places to do this business. So at the next currency change place Sylvain waited outside with the dog. This would be just a quick transaction. I handed the money through the glass and the lady inside asked me ...

Pretty sure that one speed bump I hit in the dark that made the truck and trailer fly shook stuff down too. .<br>I thought for sure I'd killed the girls<br>we hit so hard. Narrow mountain road close to Papantla and we couldn't<br>even stop and check them for almost 10 miles. The trailer literally<br ...

... you that someone famous once stood there (maybe thats a slight exaggeration, but only a little).<br><br>Today I went to the Japanese Garden in Palermo. It's beautiful and really tranquil, easy to forget you're in a city of 14 million people! I missed the origami lesson though which was a shame, I was hoping to perfect my penguin making skills that I picked up when volunteering last week. <br><br>There were more kids at the classes on Monday and ...

... Therefore had a wander around markets am, hoping to catch sight of locals in traditional dress - were a few guys with baggy white shirts & bloomers tucked into their ankle boots but no women in embroidered capes - did pick up some vanilla, the best in mexico apparently. El Tajin had a nice jungle setting and a few impressive buildings - the famous Building of Niches with a unique style with, of course, niches ...

... to sipping Malbec in one of Buenos Aires stunning city parks. Buenos Aires felt so clean, cosmopolitan and safe. We drank more wine and ate some snacks from the corner shop and really began to start thinking that the journey of this beautiful continent was about to start. This continent that would take in the sparse desert of Patagonia and head up to the tropics of Northern Brazil and into the Inca regions of Peru. The next few days in Buenos Aires were spent acclimatising to ...

Decidemment cette ville n a AUCUN charme! Apres 6h dans un bus inconfortable et des millions de dos d anes, nous sommes atterit dans une ville tristounette ou nous attend notre premiere pluie depuis notre arrivee au Mexique. Nous esperons que la visite de la pyramide d El Tajin en vaut le coup (etape choisie par Max...). Finalement nous sommes alles camper sur le site d'El Tajin pour assister a un festival tres sympathique et un son et ...

... to my hostel last night. Intimidated? A little. Did it last long? No. In my room I met a lovely Pastry Chef from Adelaide who seems like-minded and today we´re off on a day trip to Tigre. For breakfast this morning we´ve also met a lovely girl called Gillian from Scotland, living in London she´s decided to join us...I´ll let you know how it goes....

... that?! Anyway, we continued our walk back to Palermo, passing the different neighbourhoods with their tree-lined streets and beautiful houses and slowly made our way back to the hotel. In the evening, we headed to Palermo Hollywood, another section of the sprawling Palermo neighbourhood, where we had dinner at Tatana, an authentic Italian restaurant (on Gorriti street) - we've given up on Argentinian steakhouses. Wow, the food was pretty awesome. The salmon ...

... the southern ball court, which dates from about 1150 it the best example. It has 6 relief sculptures showing different aspects of the games rituals. The symbol of the area comes next; this is the Pyramid of Niches. The six lower levels, each surrounded by rows of small square niches, climb to a height of 18 metres. It is thought that there were originally 365 niches and that it was a form of calendar. There are several other buildings in the area but no ...

... just looked blank and said 'Muy bien' I thought "you lier" Like I said I wasn't very good at sticking to the lesson plans especially as you didn't really know what boys you were going to have until you ...
