Estancia El Cencerro Buenos Aires

... like we`re in New York than anywhere else as we wander around. Yesterday we decided to wander pretty much all day long and lucky we did, as the weather has turned on us today. Its been blinding sunlight since we arrived until this moring, and all day its been more like London with grey sky, drizzle and about cold, hence the blog. We aren´t doing much today. Shell has just dissapeared to go find a shopping mall in order to buy a warm jacket. I`m here keeping ...

... you want at the price you want to.

In the outskirts of the city, the Solano fair is one outstanding market where if you have a sharp eye for antiques you can find absolutely amazing treasures. Since this fair is very much for locals you can find all from old clothes, semi used house goods, and whatever people had and needed to sell… Its always better to visit this outskirts out of the tourists path fair with a local, best if you know what you ...

... Davy LOVED IT!!!! it had the feel of a proper stadium. After seeing the 6ft statue of Maradona on the way in also gave it a real buzz.

After San Telmo we went to Palermo which was even different again, it seemed to have a more upper class feel to the place. Our hostel was not so nice so after moving rooms the first night we decided to only stay two nights and spent most of that outdoors. However this was the first restaurant I went ...

... is like a small bbq out the back of a house. Argentina is known for the the best steaks ever so we ordered 2 portions of something. Out comes a big plate witha slab of meat. Best steak ive ever had. So delicious. Went to some posh cafe, Tortoni, where some famous guy used to eat or something. Went in more protests. Its a common thing here, they are everywhere ...

... com.ar/ I mean, it was like fasting for a weak and then walking into a banquet hall.. I couldn't get enough! It was excruciatingly difficult for me to stop myself from monopolizing them with my questions. In the end, only two other people remained in the tour. But who cares.. survival of the fittest, I say.. in this case, survival of the most inquisitive. The tour starts with a documentary ...

... immensely cute twenty year-old Colombian chiquita who had also just agreed to stay in the same flat - though that may just be a wild hunch on my part. The new housemates and the family had exchanged early pleasantries when, obviously blinded by the bright lights of Bs As on her first weekend, Chiquita had naively agreed to join us for a drink or two in the evening.

After some stellar conversation and a good number of ...

... Engineering School, and the huge 'Floralis Generica' (a metalic flower that opens its petals at sunrises and closes them at dawn!). On our final day in Buenos Aires, we visited the working class dockland district, La Boca, known for its colourful houses. We also visited La Bombonera, the home of world famous football team Boca Junious. We saw the pitch and their museum, and to be honest I didn't think much of it, so I ...

... mais la serveuse m'explique où je peux trouver mon arrêt de bus. Je me remets en route et j'arrive assez rapidement à l'arrêt de bus. Celui-ci arrive quelques minutes plus tard, j'embarque avec tout mon paquetage et présente un billet de $2 au chauffeur qui m'explique que les $1,5 de frais de transport ne peuvent être payés qu'en pièces de monnaie dans une machine à sous qui se trouve juste derrière son siège. Comme celui ...

... to make it a slow day. We decide to walk to the Recoleta market, come back to rest for awhile before returning to Tango Tasso for a tango lesson and another tango music concert. Harvey plays Tango in Sky by Roland Dyens, a French composer, on this guitar. I take a shower and wash some of our dirty laundry. We walk over to the feria at Recoleta on this beautiful sunny warm morning. It is late morning and the booths are set up, but ...

... momento de la despedida y del adios. Subí, corrí, pagué, entré, salí y llegué justo a tiempo para entrar al avión. Y aquí estoy a más de 10,000 metros de altura, camino a Santiago escribiendo y haciendo el recuento final de este viaje. Un viaje que planié pero que no sabía como sería, y bueno, salió como lo planeado, ya fue. Recuerdos, fotos, palabras, memorias, historia, sonrisas, discusiones, buena comida, buen vino y mucho calor.
