... house gave us better understanding of the lay out of old Argentinian houses such as the one we’re staying in. Ours, although much smaller than this one has a similar layout, with the house separated into three areas separated by two courtyards. The section at the front, facing onto the street would apparently have been a shop or workshop, the section at the back would be the living area and the section in the middle, where our apartment now is, would separate the two areas ...

... night taking Tango lessons ( very difficuly dance to learn but it was fun to try) the professional dancers were amazing ( the women dance with their eyes closed and trust the men to lead) the band was impresive too. We are having a great time.... I love seeing where my parents come from and it explains alot of who they are and how I was Iraised to be the person I am today.

... given when you arrive somewhere. Needless to say, I didn´t wear it. Most people seemed to be putting it on for a photo then taking it off again. I got to my hostel pretty late so went to bed to get ready for a new day. I suffered from my lack of Spanish the next day when I was trying to buy an unlocked phone so that I can use my English sim card here. I gave up trying to explain it and bought a South American sim card, which I expect to be using for the rest of my trip. No ...

... of eating. One night when we were sitting out by the patio I saw the largest spider I have ever seen in my life. Hairy and everything. Then we walked down by the pool and there was literally 30 plus bats dive bombing all over the place! Big bats.....It was so freaky! The day we went and walked around the falls was fantastic. They have walk ways built around them so you can see them from different angles. The best part was they also have a ...

... aangezien hij geen noemenswaardig verschil in de vlees kwaliteit kon ontdekken in vergelijking met de Nederlandse collega's, terwijl proefpersoon 2 aangenaam verrast was met het assortiment in de vorm van sojaburgers en gefrituurde spinaziekrokketen. Al met al een verwarrende uitkomst, waar wij uit kunnen afleiden dat de Burger King toch iets meer voor vegatariers dan voor carnivoren is. Een dag later, op sunny Sunday, gingen wij naar de zondag straatmarkt in de ...

... beside us......I tthink we will have to start climbing all 15 flights of stairs to get back to the APT. if this continues. Bottled water, a beer and a HUGE glass of wine later and the total came to under $40.00 CDN. Walked around the neighbourhood before heading home by 10:00 pmm.....to bed after enjoying the lights of the city spread beolw us from the room.. all for now.....off to explore after breakffast. M & S

... us in for a football game on Sunday. It is the first game of the season and is supposed to be a massive day. Everyone here has been looking forward to it since the end of the season. We need to make sure we wear the right colors so we don't end up attacked..... crazy! Its between River and Colon. They are local teams and suppposed to be a great game! Treated ourselves to BA´s famous parilla ...

... all manner of battles, between the colonial Spanish, Indians etc... The event was somewhat let down by its lighting (btw - apologies for the photos) which made it difficult to see parts of the show but it was enjoyable nonetheless. On the way back there are even more cats in the park (79). It has been a great month in Buenos Aires and, apart from seeing family and friends, I can't say we are looking forward to our flight back to England tomorrow......

... us how to activate the minutes from the card we just purchased. All with smiles and an unbelievable amount of hand gestures - and me trying to write down the instructions should we need additional minutes and need to do this ourselves. We also get instructions on how to dial from the US and how to dial within Argentina from the cell phone. They are so helpful and we are very glad we came to this location - as it turns out, it is the only location in ...
