... br>We stopped for lunch at a Pizza place, they make good pizzas and pasta here. A filling lunch for 4 with coffee and we were sixty pesos lighter (about AUD$20). We went back to the homestay, Christie crawled into bed whilst Jody and Niamh set about their first maths schoolwork. About mid-afternoon we had a powercut which lasted about 4 hours. Today wasn't too adventurous for us but we have plenty of time. By late evening Christie ...

Dulce de Leche is fantastic (think of the caramel in millionaire shortbread but even better).

Irn Bru can't be found :o(

Entre temps, une douzaine de personnes se sont inscrites à notre repas de Noël qui doit se tenir sur la terrasse de l'hostel ...

... quite remarkable sights that makes you go "wow" , actually not that easy with me now after so many months of travel and seeing so many amazing things. It is essentially a mini-city of mausoleums , mini-churches and statues in a huge variety of architectural styles but all very grand. Its the resting place for many famous Argentinians - military leaders , writers , politicians , scientists , artists and even a boxer , Angel Firpo. It´s the resting place for Eva ...
