Today we took it easy went to Puerto Madero again for lunch and we visited a Naval musuem on an actual boat. The three mast boat dated back from the end of the 19th century and accomplished over 38 tiemes the circumferance of the globe. Needles ...

... that happens, is pretty good.

As I write this, I am about 14 or so hours into my journey towards Iguazu, with a few more left to spare. The original time of arrival was 11am on Saturday, but now it appears we will not get there until 2pm at the earliest. I am supposed to meet Scott in Brazil by 3:30pm, so here's to hoping I get there in time... but either way, I'll just go with the flow, and get there when I get there. In other words, I am totally freaking out man.

... 0 pesos). Also, coins are highly demanded and yet there are so few of them! In order to take the bus, (which I wrote about last time, so some of you know how ridiculous and intense the bus system is) one must use coins, but no one ever has coins to give you in change! At my university, in one of the cafeterias, they have a sign at the register that says: "no hay monedas" which means, there are no coins, and yet everything they sell costs ...

... fresh cubes of mozzarella cheese) among other cold cuts and add-ons like deviled-eggs, potato salad, and fresh veggies. They tried to serve us some french-fries, but we saw through that attempt to fill us on the cheap stuff and stayed on pace with the meats. Taylor washed down his meal with an entire bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. Feeling slightly dehydrated and not wanting a bad headache, I decided to stick to the pitcher of soda. For dessert, we both were floored by the ...

... look which brings strangers from all directions to help. Yo Graham Kate sends a big wet kiss. We went for a momentous ride on a 1913 subway train and locals helped us. Saw a dead guy lying on a street corner surrounded by police, we decided that was an ideal time to eat an empalada( like a mini pastie). Big arvo , planning a 2 for 1 drinks deal down the road. Ciao El Kateo and El Kimo

... culoare. Acum este strada artistilor. Plin de vanzatori de tablouase, bijuterii, tricouri si alte minuni, plin de restaurante in fata carora se danseaza tango si folclore argentiniano, pentru a atrage turistii. Mult mai scump decat pe Lavalle, care este in centru. Oameni statui, statui de rigips, cantareti, tot ce vrei. Iar aproape de El Caminito - La Bomboniera!! Pt necunoscatori - stadionul celor de la Boca Juniors. Am intrat in cateva din magazinele de pe acolo. Maradona peste tot ...

... paid him 50 pesos when we got in. We were in the independiente section which was great cos they were the home team. The atmosphere was amazing, never seen anything like it, they sang for the entire match and our whole section was covered with a massive red sheet at least 5 times before, during and after the match. Just before the players came on the pitch, there were guys going around with boxes full of rolls of paper to be used as streamers, throwing ...

... around to see if the police became necessary so headed back to the hostel to relax and get out of the heat. That evening the girls went to a drumming concert. I had spent the afternoon attempting to organise tango lessons but the only places offering them on a Monday evening weren`t on the subway line and I didn`t feel comfortable walking the blocks to get there in the evening by myself...especially when I had no idea if the teachers spoke any English (unfortunately ...

... arribem al lloc indicat. L'espectacle està bé, no és espectacular, no impressiona. Expliquen la història del tango. No es pot comparar amb l'espectacle de Riverdance... que em va fer posar la pell de gallina. Hi ha molta gent... el sopar fred és supersimple. No ho recomano per qualitat-preu a ningú. : ) Els cantants són molt bons: Raúl Lavie & Julia Zenko. Canten els tangos clàssics i també de moderns. Els ballarins, prou bé. I, després del show, a dormir, ja que demà toca matinar!

... for the city tour.   That is about a 15 minute walk from the Art Suites where we are staying.   We plan to purchase a newspaper and find a café to just relax and read about music possibilities for the evening.   Okay, we're ready to go! We follow the excellent map of Recoleta given to us by Art Suites and stroll the area near the Recoleta Cemetary and go into the Pilar Church.  The light streaming in creates a soft ...
