Laprida Suites Buenos Aires

... telling us all about that. We weren't sure what the demonstration was about exactly: something to do with employment and corrupt politicians we think, but the drumming and firecrackers were exciting! Since then we’ve realised that there is a demonstration most days and there are nearly always drums and firecrackers. It happens so regularly that the police don’t bother removing the crowd control barriers. They just push them aside on the pavement and ...

... t we try to go to Siga La Vaca again" said Nadine "it's Ben's first day so we might <br>as well go somewhere nice to eat to celebrate". They were all in agreement and so headed <br>down to the port to try out the much recommended restaurant.<br>Nadine went up to the lady with a walkie talkie in the restaurant and managed to get them on the waiting list for a 3 person table. After 15 minutes the trio were led across the <br ...

... at the price you want to.<br><br>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&#8230; Its always better to visit this outskirts out of the tourists path fair with a local, best if you know what you want ...

... currently living at the Chabad in Buenos Aires. The daughter and father spoke good English. We chatted throughout dinner and they made me feel so welcome. I told stories of my travelling and about what I do back home, they told me stories about Judaism and being Jewish in Buenos Aires. They were more religious than me and were so welcoming. It was truly amazing! Dinner was delicous and when the salt beef came out for the main course, I couldn´t hide my excitement. I was wary of ...

... ussis pas à voir ses idéaux, ce qui la motivait, à part l'envie brûlante de s'assurer une place de premier choix dans les livre d'histoire et sa soif d'idolisation populaire. Et c'est probablement cela qui la rend autant adorée que détestée, chacun pouvant se projeter et voir ce qu'il veut en elle... Finalement ma voisine de Toronto Eloise a un peu sauvé la situation en me mettant en contact avec son amie Peggy, une charmante dame avec laquelle j'ai pu passer deux heures ...

... things and again people just dancing tango on the street. We also tried the local speciality, the asado, which basically stands for barbecued meat. We basically got served up half a cow each with ribs a-plenty (not normally my thing but when in Buenos Aires....). The meat itself was alright but what made it special was another local speciality, chimichurri, which is basically some kind of chilli sauce that was sent from the Gods - it was amazing!!! To ...

We had to do some laundry at a local laundromat to start the day. The ladies working there were very helpful and accommodating. We took the subway to the nicest mall in town just to wander through the shops and people-watch really. We caught a movie at the theater there, as well (Marley &amp; Me). All the movies we have seen are in English with Spanish subtitles. The subtitles help us catch on to the common phrases and wording, so we will gladly ...

... in one of the more trendy areas of the city previously known as Palermo Alto, now known as Palermo Hollywood (changed due to the trend for movies to be filmed here and because some people think it sounds cool). Personally we think re-naming the area to Hollywood a bit weird but whatever. The hostel was basic but only 2 blocks from the Metro (which is called Subte here)and the price was right at 50% less than hostels the city ...

... a pair of comfortable rubber sole shoes for the day and night, and an alternate pair for tango dancing. For tango dancing, we could have worn comfortable shoes and changed into the dance shoes just for the lesson. It would have been a whole lot more comfortable! · I carried our stuff in a shoulder bag with a secure strap and compartments made by Daymakers (http://www.daymakers.com). I was advised on TripAdvisor ...

... for next time. Dont want to get boring on this my first journey into the world of blogging so off to rescue poor husband who is trying to find his way round Spanish instructions for his new mobile ... language of this sort is not his strong point so perhaps I will try to help.
