... including the Los Capuchinos Church which deliberately has one steeple missing from its facade. The architect decided to omit the second steeple to symbolise human imperfection. Clearly he hadn't met my wife!<br><br>That night we had our first encounter with an Argentinian "parilla". A parilla, for want of a better description, is a restaurant where they barbecue ridiculous amounts of cow and sheep which the locals consume in ...

... of Scandinavia. I guess this is no news, but it is still such a different reality. There are extremely wealthy people, and there are people like the maids who are illegal and struggling to get food for their families. There are many with the newest fanciest car models, and there are people who move around the city with horse and carriage like in the Middle Ages. In the weekend the family has promised to take me to see the living conditions of these two extremes: a closed ...

... warme keukenkraan aan om een extra impuls te geven aan de ketel, stelt nog eenkeer het gas bij en keer je terug naar de badkamer voor een warme douche. Eenvoudig, simpel en effectief. De middag hebben wij buitenshuis gespendeerd met een bezoek aan de prachtige historische gebouwen in het centrum. Maar het wachten is natuurlijk op wat morgen komen gaat: het klussen in het weeshuis. We hebben er echt zin in en zullen weldra het bewijs op de ...

... Patagonia was expensive!). Our hostel was directly beside a beautiful tiled Church and gave a litre of beer to anyone who booked online, thank you very much. That night we made dinner and ate it on the hostel roof (the Argentine usual: tenderloins, salad, $1 wine and a baguette). The next day we ventured out to the town of Alta Gracia, where Ernesto "Che" Guevara spent much of his upbringing (http://en.wikipedia ...

... than 100kms. Which will cost the local person less than 8 pesos. That is 1.63 euro for 100kms... or $2.67 in Australia for 100 kms... That is GAS! A bottle of average red is $10 pesos. To do the maths that is 2 euro for an average but good drop red or white... And $3.34 for someone on in Aussie dollars! People that decide to live on the outskirts of Cordoba chose to live in a Country! A country is like a ...

... places to stay from the information desk, but everything we tried was full. We were approached by a girl advertising a hostel then a bit later by the owner of that same hostel. After a few failed attempts at residenicas, we decided to just go with this hostel and hope it was okay. The owner actually gave us a ride to the hostel (Hostel Aldea) and informed us that it was a brand new hostel that had only been opened about a month ...

... a tandem paraglide with Pablo, one of the many instructors plying their trade in the town, based mostly on his hair. It seems arbitrary, but we figured it might be only a slightly less useless measure of a man than his guidebook review. So long haired Pablo it was. He and his mate picked Marge and I up from the town and drove us out to the launch site (luckily, his pal had good hair too, and we took this as a good sign). Once there, we ...

... where they were, so they said to call them when we got there. I figured, how hard can it be to find them? Poor, naive Canadian. We finally arrived at the park, after having to walk the last half due to traffic. Only about 70 or 80 thousand people were at this concert, the place was wall to wall people. We had no cells, and the one payphone we found was broken. The concert looked good, but we´d never heard of the band and ...

... we had to ride with the reins in one hand as that is how the horses were trained. It was a bit weird. But then she didn`t want to move, despite my coaxing, digs in the ribs and "vamos". The whole day she wanted to be at the back, although I wasn`t complaining when there was the very sexy polo playing Juan being the tailender guide. I think Paloma wanted to ride next to him because she used to be his polo horse until she got too old. Juan tells me that she was ...
