... cafes. All the same it was a nice view from one of the cafes we found and despite the mosis we had a lovely evening. We went back to our very shabby looking hostel and had a beer before bed.<br><br>On Tuesday morning it pelted it down so we did not leave until 1pm for a walk around the highlights of the pretty little city. The hostel staff were lovely and were happy for us to take ...

... t speak French, we had a great conversation with him and his colleagues -and they made us feel even more welcome in their city.<br><br>Now it was time to find the BMW dealer and we drove through the center of Cordoba to the other side of town. Cordoba is a nice, big city with a modern city center and lots of young people, it reminds a lot in a way of Boston but more modern. It's definitely a place you could live comfortably ...

... can have some time off now which is great for me. It means we will go to the northwest next week too!

Life is pretty simple here. I have been able to get involved in several different projects, more than what I originally thought I would be doing. I teach an English class every afternoon at a community center. This place primarily provides affordable medical services to those that cannot afford healthcare, but they also offer services like cheap second-hand clothing and English classes for US $4/month. I ...

... for all the dead animal carcasses hanging from hooks, this is the place to come if you are looking for meat! We stumbled upon this stall, that sold pan arabes, or arab bread, basically it is bread folded with meat inside, they give you a wedge of lemon to squeeze inside, tastes really good. After leaving the market one time, we were bit lost and this old guy for directions, our hostel was located on Avenue General Paz, but we had a few difficulties ...

... designed the Argentinian flag. This was packed with kids watching samba drummers practice and break-dancing. From there we wandered back past the shops to the hostel where we crashed out for the rest of the day, after picking up a pizza for dinner. The next day we got up fairly late as rowdy guests had kept us up all night, and spent most of the morning in bed. We eventually got up and made it to an internet café where we spent several ...

... to be in Rosario. This guy cracks me up when I look at him as his face totally reminds me of a Shar Pei. I wish I had a picture of him. He`s a super nice fellow but his face is all like squished in and wrinkled. We go up to the top of the tower and take in the wonderful view of Rosario from the prestigious vantage point and he tells me that he`s thinking of staying in Rosario for a month to learn Spanish and that maybe he`ll rent an apartment and try to ...

... at all, the people there generally sat around with their laptops not speaking to each other so Graham and I watched TV for a while then went to bed, but not before the old American guy came to join us around 1am, asked to change channel and started watching porn. Possibly the most uncomfortable 2 minutes of this trip so far. Just after we got to bed and somewhere around 2am, two blokes checked into the room. I was mortified ...

... taking a tango class in Spanish in a few hours, so we strolled in that direction and had a coffee at a nearby cafe. Invited to stay and watch, I thought instead I would take off and read a bit in the hotel room. I'd finished my book and had just enough time to get really nervous when Cierra walked in an hour and a half late. "Sorry, the class ran long and then we went to a place to watch some tango. Do you want to come and see?" She'd made friends with a ...
