Emperador Hotel Buenos Aires

... admirer le spectacle: encens a gogom des oeurs entonnants de multiples chants, et une trentaine dhommes portant sur plusieurs centaines de metres une plate forme representant la vierge et dautres personnages, des milliers de fleurs<br>ca me rappelle ce quon etudiait en espagnol au lycee....<br>une procession extraoridinaire...<br>cest marrant car ca ma bc`p rappelle le perou, la bouffe (coeur et patates), lodeur de lencens, et des papiers partout que les peruviens ...

... Tango wurde in La Boca ausgiebig gefroent. Die abenteuerlichen Behausungen wurden mit Resten von Schiffsfarbe bemalt. <br>Vom damaligen kunterbunten Treiben zeugt noch ein kleines Geviert um den "Caminito". Am Wochende zeigen eine Unmenge von Strassenmaler ihre Werke, kleine Tangokapellen spielen um die Wette. <br>

today we took the bus back from iguazu falls (17 hours in a lush, fancy bus that gives you champagne, wine and whiskey except made worse by the fact we had to watch some stupid eddie murphy childrens movies). anyhow. the falls were beeautiful and to make things even better we had a wicked meal... one of the best things we´ve eaten so far at a place called Color Pizza and Parilla in pto. iguazu. we ate this enormous brochette of grilled meat and veg and it ...

... but made my home the dance floor and stayed until daylight<br><br>* Kooks concert - All the way to Argentina and I go and see a band I´ve seen in Ireland already! But still this was a great experience. The argies know how to party. So myself and Marie, an aussie I´d just met dived right into the mosh pit and got involved. Very good fun! <br><br>* Obvious touristy stuff... bus tours, la Boca, parks, big buildings with pillars, museums etc ...

... v Argentina rugby and the Argentina v Columbia football matches) in the local football bar - the tune they played when Argentia scored has been stuck in my head ever since! Then a perfect end to the week - a trip to the suburbs to make a Sunday roast chicken dinner in Angel's Dad's house with dulce de leche pancakes for pudding, yum!<br><br>All round a pretty good week and the weather's been nice and sunny although it isn't as warm as last month.

... Kahlo, Diego Rivera, etc. We had a pretty darn expensive snack at the cafe, but of course, we were also paying for the atmosphere. Here are the photos. The temperature here has cooled down, and all the ladies have switched to their fall wardrobes. It's only been about 70 degrees yesterday and today, but should warm up a bit again. But I don't expect to see 85 again until I am back in the US. Tomorrow night, I catch a bus to Puerto Iguazu--the huge ...

... places. It was a fun night with lots to catch up on as Nicky joined our little trio. The next day was one of those disappointing days that happen somethimes when you are travelling where nothing quite works out. The hostel was one bed short when we attempted to book extra nights, so we found a hostel thats info made it look like it was near where we were staying, as the taxi took us further and further from San Telmo the streets looked dodgier and dodgier. When we pulled ...

... into South American culture right off the bat. Staying in Junin de los Andes for New Years - small towns were the very best. Getting the best seats possible for our 24 hour bus ride from Iqueque to Santiago (Becky slept most of the way). A few things we would change. Refreshing our Spanish more before we left. Take less buses. Spend more time in Chile. Things learned along the way? Peruivans are some of the very nicest, genuine, happy and ...

... Teller, Cornflakes und Broetchen finden sich dann auch irgendwo verteilt und Marmelade haben wir ja noch selber vom Campen. Gut gestaerkt laufen wir dann einige Strassenecken in Richtung Innenstadt und stehen bald am zentralen Platz von Buenos Aires, dem Plaza de Mayo. Auch hier wird eingehend an den Krieg um die Falklandinseln erinnert und es gibt jede Menge alte interessante Gebaeude zu besichtigen. Wie ihr sicher im Laufe unserer ...

... upstairs taking a rest now. Harvey is setting up to recharge the cell phone. Oh boy, he says he can't find the cable! He is almost sure that he has already charged it once, so we check all the bags. No cable turns up. So we visit Sergio and he gives us a map, marking the location of stores that might have the cable. I'm calm and think we'll figure something out. Harvey is concerned and annoyed with himself. We check multiple ...
