... to Madrid. We saw Casa Rosada, the Government House (covered in scaffold) the balconies of which are famed for political speeches from Evita Peron. Evita, wife of President Peron, was famed for setting up infrastructure for the working classes such as trade Unions (we went to the Evita museum!!).

... days, a herbal mixture which thank goodness is no longer needed and used to be rolled like a cigarette and smoked. As the powerful bitter liquid hit my throat I screwed up my face, a grimace to scare all the stray dogs I think, but bravely I posed for the photo trying hard to smile, before stealing a large portion of Peter´s ´Naranja jugo.´ (I can say it now and get the juice ... well nearly always).

We spent the mornings at a spa complex wallowing in the hot spring waters ...

Meanwhile, his wife brought me a slice of cake and a cup of coca-cola, and upon leaving I felt duty bound to purchase a jar of their home-made jam, at which point as a gift they gave me a box of home-made alfajores and a packet of ...

... to litter the province across which I was currently pedalling, so I took myself out in the rain and hunted them down. Strange how if you build a funny-shaped swimming pool, suddenly it contains naturally heated water pumped from 1500m below the ground that has health-giving properties owing to the coctail of vitamins and minerals dissolved within.

... whoever knows me, knows how i get when i drink, and when i came out before i could protest my uncle i was staying with had bought everyone massive ice creams, and then we headed home, and slept, the first night I've gotten over 5 hours of sleep since the trip started, today so far has been pretty calm but its still early, considering nothing gets going until very late by Canadians standards, dinner isn't even until 10 at very earliest, but ...
