Boedo Vive Bed And Breakfast Buenos Aires

... that has been done in the past few decades. The most interesting exhibit came from the section strictly dedicated to Argentine artists. Their perception on a number of familiar topics helped to make me understand, more than any other activity, how Argentines view the natural world.

-They pronounce y's/ll's like sh. As in "Che, sho sha se pero como te shamas tu" (Che, yo ya se pero como te llamas tu). Reading ...

... wine country” of Argentina. I was only there for a few days which was way too short of a visit. One day we rented bikes about 20 minutes outside of Mendoza city in this cute, quaint town, and rode to four different wineries throughout the day for tours and wine tastings. We rode through some adorable areas and tried some excellent wine. Every Friday night the hostel we stayed at has an all you can eat BBQ and all you can drink wine. The ...

"It's the third best cemetery in the world," said the woman selling guides at the entrance to the Recoleta cemetery in downtown Buenos Aires. When asked about the two better cemeteries, she quickly answered that the Paris cemetery where Jim Morrison of the Doors is buried ranks as the best in the world, but admitted that she didn't know which cemetery is ...

... for Uruguay tomorrow. We are only taking our small day bags for the 3 night trip and are leaving our big backpacks at this hostel until we return - it's nice to travel light for a change! After skyping my Grandma to wish her happy birthday for tomorrow, we headed out to a small restaurant just up the road from us. We had a bit of a steak & chicken combo thing going off between us. Then the night was completed with a few beers in front of the TV.

... we had to get down there. -it certainly lived up to expectations...the steaks were grotesquely big!!! and unbelievably tasty/juicy/delicious etc. We left with extremely rounded paunches, and waddled back to the hostel for some rest! 2)Going to La Boca, and seeing the amazingly colourful houses that run all along the street. They look so cool! Oh yeah, and seeing tango dancers in ...

... to the beach to Punta del Este, to a hostel with a pool, daily evening bbq and 400m from the beach! Of course, Uruguay was never on the original agenda, so this is exciting to be going to country #5! For everyone not in the know on Punta, it is the most exclusive beach destination in all of south america and many movie stars / celebs go on holidays there (off the top of my head i can remember reading Zinadine Zidane goes on hols there.) However, it is only a tad more ...

... we encounter is some poor schlep decked out as a mascot playing card, welcoming us to the local casino in 36 degrees. I can think of better jobs, but we goof around and take some truly tacky photos with him as the centrepiece. Our 3 star hotel is proof that the Argentine rating system kicks off at this level, but it does have a pool. 2 Coronas later and its just gone 5 star. Next day we are off to the Argentine side of the falls, where as foreign tourists we are stiffed 60 ...

Mark and I are on the go. Pix to follow on our adventure. WE recently arrived on the 19th and it was a beautiful 77 degrees. Customs was great here and we flew nicely through the airport. Small for a large city. MEAT, MEAT, MEAT, is what youŽll enjoy here. The food is divine. CanŽt wait to have more when we are back in two weeks. In Chile now, I made a mistake on not really reading their customs and immigration declaration stuff and paid dearly for it. So ...

Our hostel room was boiling hot and sandwiched between the reception and the kitchen, so it was no surprise when we were woken up before 8am by noisy voices.
