Hotel Villa Julia Tigre

... islands of the Delta are unloaded. <br>The port of Tigre lodges the open market with streets full of the colors of rustic fabric, furniture and accesories made in cane and willow, delicious jams and honey, brilliant flowers, and of course, all the variety of native fruit co-existing in absolute harmony. We loved this place so much we decided to go back on a week day when it was not so busy BIG mistake!!!!!!! We went back on Monday 21 Sept 09 which ...

... It was then a return to the camp where we had an attempt at a chat with a French family who have been staying here for the last 7 months. They speak Spanish now but very little English and so it was our usual good fun trying to converse.<br><br><br><br><br>28th &#8211; Since we will be staying for a while we shall only write up the days that we actually do something other than lazing around.<br><br><br><br><br>31th &#8211; Into Buenos Aires this morning, we used a fast boat ...

... MachuPicchu (its good enough for 2 mentions) Lowlights NONE Advice for next time and others. 1.Learn Spanish if you can, it really does help 2. don't bother getting currency before you travel or bring Travelers cheques money is easy to get in both local and US dollars. 3. MachuPicchu deserves more that one day no matter what your travel agent says at least spend one extra night there and go to the ruins twice minimum ...

... baigner et nous prélasser puis nous partons visiter le cimetière de la Recoleta près du centre-ville. Après avoir pris quelques photos et avoir retrouvé la tombe d'Eva Duarte/Peron perdue au milieu de ce labyrinthe d'allées toutes semblables, nous allons ensuite manger au restaurant en face de leur hôtel. Le lendemain, nous nous organisons une petite excursion à Tigre, petit bourg situé dans la banlieue de Buenos Aires en bordure de l'embouchure du Rio de la Plata. Les riches ...

... a show for almost 2 hours. Mainly tango dancers in pairs and troupe, but also traditional Agentinian flute and drums band, and a few singers to string it all together. Very<br>good and professional. Bet they bought out the entire BA supply of fishnet stockings.<br><br>Sunday<br><br>Wandere d around the streets of BA shopping. Most things closed unless you are in a tourist area, but I finally managed to buy Mandy her present.

... vraiment en espagne en plus chic même. La population ici est super "fashion" comme les boutiques d´ailleurs. Nous rentrons a l´auberge vers 22-23h, des enfants jouent encore dans les squares et les rue n´ont jamais etaient aussi pleines, c´est fou comme cette population vit la nuit. Diner a minuit, ce qui semble normal. Tres bonne soiree a jouer au Kems, au Backgammon et au "Time is up" qui en anglais s´appelle le "Parle le"...hoba !!! (c´est leur yeaaah a eux).

... near the bottom, so the game wasn´t sold out, even so it was an experience. On the way to the game we were passed by buses full of River Plate supporters and their police escort. I have never seen police escorting fans to and from games before!!!! We were seated on the side so had a clear view of both supporters stands. I don´t think that they could have squeezed another person in to either of the fan stands!!! The game itself was disappointing, but that was ...

Congratulations everybody! (On the election of Barack Obama, of course) I wasn't in the states, so I don't know for sure, but I think the election may have been almost as big of a deal here as it was in the states. Everybody was talking about it and it was in every newspaper. Most Argentines that I'd been speaking to couldn't even really name who Barack Obama was running against (not a bad thing :-P), so that gives you an idea of how close ...

... and found a nice restaurant to eat lunch in. By that time it was time to catch our returning boat to Tigre and we spent some time wandering around the markets and then caught the train home. It took longer to get the bus from the train station than it did to get thew train back to Buenos Aires. All in all had a nice day, but really couldn{t tell you what 3 Bocas was like at all.

... not 1 or two people, it`s everyone at the table, it`s just how Argentinians play. How can they possibly not know how to play correctly? Did the casinos in Argentina get together and publish a "How to play BJ" book but with incorrect content and strategy. Is everything regarding correct BJ strategy in this book that I made up just completey incorrect in order to make maximize profits. I feel as though it almost has to exist. If so, that is ...
