Mi Casa en San Telmo Buenos Aires

... s more of a suggestion to some people than a rule? We were waiting in 3 different lines today when a dude cut right in front of us to be at the front of the line! The first time we were waiting to buy our boat tix for Uruguay and this older guy comes up behind me and starts talking to me real fast in Spanish. I can't understand him but he stops talking and then just pushes past me to go up to the counter! What? Then we were at the cashier line at the same station ...

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 ...

... game afraid to use the urinal, buy a drink or reach for our wallets.  It feels like we are being watched by a lot of people, but I realize that I am being slightly paranoid after going through the process we went through to get into the stadium.  We come across a military policeman in the 2nd half and ask him what time we should leave the game to be safe.  He says 15 to 20 minutes early would be recommended.  We decide to watch the game up to 15 minutes before the end and then skip out to ...

... opportunity to maintain one's status in life with an eye-catching silhouette. One of the most elaborate of the mausoleums is that of Jose Paz, who established the La Prensa newspaper and built the La Prensa building that was featured in our post about Avenida de Mayo. Interestingly, the tomb of the most famous "resident" is also one of the least ...

... been here, but it is a nice big park in the city centre. The Big Flower - This is a huge mechanical flower that opens in the day and then as the sun goes down, automatically closes....allegedly. The Japanese Garden - It's a garden...but no shed! The Planeterium - I just kept thinking os Cartmen in South Park. The National Library - Nice old building filled with.....well, I'll let you guess! Recoleta Cemetery - Loads of ...

... risotto.  He also made a delicious homemade bread called chipa- made with garlic.  It is a recipe from Paraguay, where Roberto is from originally.   What a fabulous meal and great company. With all of the champagne and wine, I unfortunately forgot to take pictures, so I took some pictures tonight.

... made products with a price tag for American, European and English tourists. It does seem to offer the best variety of handbags, briefcases and dress shoes. Munillo Street (a random street not in the tourist area at all) has twice as many shops dedicated to all sorts of leather products and their jackets and casual shoes are very reasonably priced. We felt we missed-out on some good wine tasting in Mendoza and wanted to see what we can organise in BA to make-up for it. We ...

... turned into shops, painted very brightly. There are café's and bars, tables in the streets, tango dancers, musicians. It was a circus environment, but interesting. After about 40 minutes here, the bus picked us up and we asked to be dropped close to La Recoleta Cemetery. One of the hotels where we picked up some other passengers was near there, so we only had a few blocks to walk. Unfortunately, the ...

... around 12AM I arrived at the hostel and was so exhausted I just fell asleep. Relivin the hostel days Now, I haven't stayed in a hostel since my college years and I have to say I pretty much felt like I was taken back to those years of no mortgages, no job and no worries...oh, did I mention no privacy? The first two nights I stayed in a tiny single room ...

... touching right side of his head. (Some leaders had grabbed Katerina's eyeglasses, as she steps on to the dance floor because they want that close head connection and it is difficult if either person is wearing glasses.) The woman's upper stomach area is tight up against the man's upper stomach area. Now depending on how tall/short the man/woman is, this can vary greatly. I seem to be taller than most men in Argentina; of course I am wearing 2 ...
