Casa Bloody Mary B And B Buenos Aires

... including several Maradonas, the famous Argentinian footballer who at one stage played for the local team Boca Juniors, one of the top Argentinian clubs. He now manages the Argentinian national team. They seem to skip over the fact that he has been in lots of trouble over many different matters over the years and he is still an enormously big hero here. <br><br>Past the tourist area, which is literally just a ...

... any hostel can have drunken idiots shouting at 4am but this place has acoustics that just send that noise echoing around the property. Suzie very tired today.<br><br>Anywhere in the world can suffer from people bigging it up too much in advance- BA seemed very much at risk of this given that Nigel's chum went there for a few days and stayed for an extra four months. But it kind of lives up to its hype. The architecture is great- fascinatingly European but with South ...

Today, after last night´s alcohol consumption, we were rather lazy. I didn`t even get up till 1pm. Troy came over about an hour later, and we stayed in the hostel, playing pool on the midget table (which has a highly dubious and at times infuriating roll owing to the baize not being completely taut in places), before watching my Tropic Thunder DVD on the hostel`s big flat screen TV with its great quality sound and thunderous bass. Troy fell asleep for ...

... hostel, Brookes and Sebastian, a couple from Canada and Germany and a French guy called Jeremy. We were picked up at 3.30 and the match wasn`t on until 7.30 so we were a bit perplexed as to why we were going so early - hardly because its that dangerous there we thought! But no that wasnt why - we were brought to a building near the stadium and there were loads of other people in there drinking free beer and coke. There was a draw then for some retro Boca ...

... govenmetn that followed Peron years, and shipped under a fake name to Europe for 16 years ... it was under some controversy that she was returned and buried in Rocoletta cemetery because she was not of a wealthy family, and she was ´of and for the workers´, who were buried elsewhere. Yep.. so theres some information you didnt want to know... ha!) <br><br><br>So yea, Buenos Aires was a real favourite. we managed to get in and out unharmed and loved the place.

... is. Every block has pizzerias, bakeries, pasta shops, parrillas (grilled meat), heladeras (ice cream)--and it's all homemade. And beautiful. The display of fresh pasta was like a watercolor painting--each shape delicate and brilliantly colored. The owner was behind the counter, making pasta in a shape I had never seen before--rolling each piece into a ringlet-shaped noodle Amazing. The food is great, but what I really ...

... Puerto Iguazu in Argentina in the space of a few hours to make my bus on time, happy days! (Although it means that I now have 4 stamps for Brazil, all obtained in the space of 2 hours!) Back in Buenos Aires, everything that is obvious to see is all within walking distance of the ´central´obelisk monument (near where I was staying) and the Casa Rosada (place where Madonna, err Evita gave those speaches from that balcony). Recoleta isnt too far either where Eva Duarte is burried in ...

... is a small city of 6,400 mausoleums where Buenos Aries' most powerful and rich families try to outdo one another with edifices to their wealth and power. It is also home to many stray cats that wander among the grand, sometimes crumbling tombs, including that of the cemetery's most famous occupant, Eva - the wife of President Juan Peron. To ...

Aaah, today was cooler-- low 80's I guess. So nice-- I was supposed to meet some of my classmates at San Telmo to peruse the street market. Well, I got there 45 minutes late and missed them!! (Later, i found out that they were 30 minutes late and thought I'd already left! ha!) So in our lickety-split, high-tech, American society. That doesn't happen anymore. Cell phones fixed that. And, we have cell phones ...

... nice Spanish-language vocals as the dessert's topping. Walter Malosetti finished the show with the guitarist's old-master's touch. As nice as it is to get any authentic display of the local culture while traveling, it's also interesting to see how culture is created and evolves, across decades and across continents. It's interesting to see artists with Italian surnames playing American jazz in Argentina. It's nice to sit in my room in South America ...
